NAKAYAMA KOSUKE
The tea factory of Nakayama family has been in operations for 70 years in Higashi Sonogi. Their tea fields cover about 600 ha. The Nakayama family is strongly committed in favour of practicing an environment-friendly agriculture.
To preserve their land and its soil, they use only organic fertilisers that they prepare themselves. To fight against a failing domestic demand for green tea, the Nakayama family works hard to improve communication and build partnerships with other tea farmers as well as actors in other industries. They organize regularly workshops about green tea and wish to make their area better known overseas.
