Masao Oyaizu and Yuki Mori embark on a mission to preserve and share a cherished part of Japanese culture – the tradition of green tea.
Scientology Network’s Meet a Scientologist, a weekly series spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists from around the world and all walks of life, has announced an episode featuring green tea entrepreneurs, Masao Oyaizu and Yuki Mori.
In the episode, both Masao Oyaizu and Yuki Mori embark on a mission to preserve and share a cherished part of Japanese culture – the tradition of green tea. The history of this venerated beverage dates back to the 13th century Japan. Blending heritage with modern innovation, Oyaizu and Mori brewed up an international company, ensuring the sun will always rise on Japan’s beloved green tea.
Oyaizu was born in Shizuoka City, an area known for producing green tea leaves in Japan. Raised in the family business, Oyaizu learned to grow green tea leaves in the old-fashioned way. As the tradition of the tea ceremony was replaced by the convenience of bottled green tea, Oyaizu blended his talents with Mori. Together, they infused an ancient tradition with modern flair. Out of this pairing grew their 17-layer green tea cake and signature gold leaf green tea gelato, popular among tourists and a social media sensation. Today, their company, Oyaizu Seicha International Japanese Tea, is recognised worldwide as a purveyor of green tea and green tea deserts – with distribution across England, France, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and the US. And so the sun rises on Oyaizu and Mori, who have preserved a bit of old Japan by building a modern empire.
