TFP

Dedicated Tea Field Program

Nagoya Marriott Hotel Associa's suite rooms are already supplied from a dedicated plot on an organic tea farm: exclusively for Marriott.

The hotel provides its estimated annual volume. mirume then identifies the appropriate farm and plot. A fixed annual contract is established, with payment made to the farmer before the harvest begins. From that point onward, tea from the designated plot is reserved exclusively for that hotel.

 The reasoning behind the advance payment matters. In Japan's tea industry, farmers who cultivate high-quality leaves have no control over their own pricing. The market sets the price, and the tea wholesale confirms it. A fixed contract with advance payment removes that dependency: the farmer knows their income before even a single leaf is picked, and can therefore focus entirely on quality.

mirume does not take on every inquiry. Volume is not the deciding factor.

TPP is built on a simple premise: when a farmer knows their income before harvest begins, they can focus entirely on quality. That security does not come from a single season. It comes from a partner who returns year after year with the same commitment.

Sustainability, in its original sense, is not a marketing statement. It is a long-term structure that makes quality possible over time.

 mirume is looking for hotel partners that understand this not as a value statement, but as an operating principle.

This is not a transaction. It is a partnership.

If this is the kind of relationship your hotel is seeking, we would be pleased to talk with you. 

Dedicated tea plot programs are developed in consultation for selected hotel partners.
