History:

Founded in 2012 in Kagoshima, Susumuya is rooted in a long lineage of tea expertise. Its founder, Kotaro Shinbara, comes from a family of tea wholesalers spanning generations, and is the grandson of Nijiro Shinbara.

From the beginning, Susumuya has approached tea as both product and culture. The company sources and produces high-quality Japanese teas, particularly from Kagoshima and Chiran, while also developing its own line of teaware to support how tea is prepared and experienced.

Working with designers such as Masanori Oji and skilled artisans across Japan, Susumuya creates teapots, cups, and utensils that emphasize proportion, material, and ease of use. These objects are designed not as ceremonial artifacts, but as tools for daily life, reflecting a broader intention to reintegrate Japanese tea into contemporary routines.
