Canada and Japan have shaken hands on a new distribution agreement for green tea polyphenol products in the US and Canada. Canadian company Origin BioMedicinals has taken on the role of exculsive distributor for polyphenols from Japanese company Tokyo Food Techno.

Under terms of the agreement Origin will distribute TFT's Polyphenon Green Tea Catechin Extracts in Canada, and develop natural health products using Polyphenon extracts for US and Canadian markets.

"We are pleased to have established a working relationship with Dr. Hara, who is clearly the world's foremost expert on green tea,"​ said Robert Cervelli, president and CEO of Origin. The Canadian company has, for some years, been working with Dr. Yukihiko Hara, a vice president at TFT, on product formulations and brand name recognition for a line of Polyphenon-based products.

As well as distributing capsules, Origin's line of Polyphenon​ products includes skin cream, acne Cream and green tea lozenges.
