The Sugimoto Tea Company (formerly Sugimoto America aka SA Japanese Green Tea) was founded by Kyohei Sugimoto in 2008 after he moved to the US to bring the exceptional Japanese green teas that his family produces in Shizuoka, Japan, to tea lovers in the west.
Today we still act as a bridge between Japan and America, sharing not only delicious tea, but also our knowledge about Japanese tea and culture. It is our hope to introduce you to the taste and aroma of fine Japanese teas, and discover why this tradition has thrived for hundreds of years, supporting good health and peace of mind for millions of people.

Our mission is to spread the Honeybee as far and wide as we can, specifically to hardcore urban environments, rooftops downtown where hotels and restaurants can bring their own brand of honey, farmed onsite directly to their menus, spas and gift packages’. Most Restaurateurs’ anymore simply farm their own herbs and in some cases vegetables onsite, adding beehives is a two-fold benefit: pollination of said herb farm and the honey that it eventually yields. What’s unique is this farm might be on a terrace, 20 stories off the ground, or a rooftop 45 stories high. No matter what or where it may be, Shipwreck Honey is here to help; we have a professional, concise understanding of the special needs/nuances of Hotels and Restaurants and the prized guests who occupy them. We feel very strongly that there are very few challenges that cannot be overcome when placing Hives in these sorts of environments, we are confident in the added value not just fiscally but ecologically amongst your peers and guests alike; the physical footprint of each Hive is small, the ecological footprint however is vast. Give us a call, email or shout-out on facebook, let us help you build your brand of Honey so together we can help the Honeybee.
