We have been doing organic cultivation for tea with pesticide-free and chemical fertilizer-free for over 30 years and received certification of organic JAS in 2001.
We produce Kamairicha a true specialty in our region, Miyazaki. Since this technique is difficult to master there are less and less producers that are producing Kamaricha.
The tea is not steamed, but roasted in a large pan. Its fragrance is called “kamaka”, a sweet taste and refreshing feeling and can sometimes recall the scent of Jasmine tea.
This technique was almost lost but has been now recognized as a National Agricultural Heritage. We truly hope that you will appreciate the taste of our tea and also spread the word about Kamairicha. We would love to hear from you and how you enjoyed our tea so that we can make it again famous in Japan and abroad !
