Our leaves come from select farmers whose family has been growing tea for generations. Besides the traditional farming technique, location of the farm is very important in reference to altitude and the angle to which the sun and moon is positioned in seasons of year.
The harvest begins end of April to mid May, depending on the season, and the second harvest begins end of June. We mainly work with the first spring harvest though second harvest is not bad, but the third and fourth harvest tend to taste bitter.
This 93 years old man does not work on his fields any more, but spends his time tending to his garden as he understands the heart of plants, happiness and life. He enjoys his green tea with his soul. His son is an official tea taster for Japan Agricultural Minister and his wife certified to prepare tea for Emperor of Japan. Grand son is to the left and production manager to the right. This is a family whose made it like many of us have, not by violating the rights of others, but providing us with product beneficial to all of us.
