ITO EN became Japan's first importer of oolong tea leaves in 1979, when it signed an import agreement with the China National Native Produce and Animal By-Products Import and Export Corporation, and we successfully commercialized the world's first canned oolong tea beverage in 1981. With canned oolong tea, we created new value by inaugurating the new concept of sugar-free products in the beverage market. Since then, we have continued to lead the way in the introduction of ground breaking new products, such as jasmine tea, which is green tea scented with natural jasmine flowers that offer excellent health benefits.
