Producer Information

TAKAHASHI YUZO
Established in 1963, the Takahashi green tea factory is located in Usuki (Oita pref., Eastern Kyushu) and produces organic green tea since 2001. It was the first green tea farm in Oita to receive the organic JAS certification in 2001.
Takahashi san is now the second generation of his family to lead his business and is specialized in tamaryokucha, a green tea known for its jade color (tama), quite similar to sencha, but whose leaves have a curly shape, and not needle-like. The very last stage of the processing method is different: the tea leaves are put inside drums and dried with hot air. Takahashi san grows seven different tea cultivars, mainly Yabukita.What Customers say

Kohei "GABA" Green Tea
This tea is probably an acquired taste - I found it rather grassy in a musty way. On a positive note, it was much more palatable when I had it cold. The packaging is cute!
