Tea Farm

The farming collective in Shibushi, in southern Kagoshima, is one of the largest and most important in the region, and it proudly continues the tea-growing traditions of Shibushi that date back to the early 18th century. The tea fields are cultivated in an exceptionally efficient and environmentally friendly manner, using specially developed machinery exclusively used here. The plants are protected from pests and simultaneously enriched with nutrients using water, rice bran, and high air pressure. Weeds at ground level are also eliminated using water vapour. The tea farmers carefully consider whether the use of these machines is truly necessary, as they aim to disturb the natural ecosystem as little as possible. In recent years, the farm’s teas have received numerous awards, including the highly prestigious Nihoncha Award, the Japanese Tea Selection Paris, and the UK’s Great Taste Award.

SENCHA FUNMATSUCHA

Sencha is by far the most commonly cultivated and consumed green tea in Japan and constitutes the backbone of Japanese tea traditions. The leaves are typically steamed for 10-60 seconds, dried with hot air, churned, and via a multi-staged process rolled into flat needles. The flavour profile of Sencha is very diverse and varies between sweet, fresh and grassy to robustly bitter. The region of cultivation as well as quality of the tea play a significant role in determining flavour.
