The tea field sits high in the prime Honyama region, overlooking the famous Shizuoka River and surrounded by dense, protective forests. The south-facing slopes and steep terrain ensure excellent drainage and abundant sunlight. The high elevation and regular morning and evening fog create a an ideal climate to stimulate the growth of healthy tea leaves. Since 1990, the fields have been organically cultivated, free from pesticides and fertilised exclusively with natural products. Only a few dozen kilos of this tea are harvested each year using hand-operated machines. Honyama is regarded as one of Japan’s finest growing regions for Sencha.
