The Tamagawa area of Shizuoka Prefecture has been famous for its tea for hundreds of years. Surrounded by the clear waters of the Abe River and rugged mountains, the tea produced at Shitajima tea farm is one of the best models of mountain tea.

The tea leaves have a beautiful straight shape and a clear watercolor. The taste is compact and well-balanced, and the aroma is fragrant with a strong cultivar character. Their teas ideally possess these characteristics that only teas carefully produced in the rugged mountains can have.

Shitajima tea farm's "Sayamakaori" has an elegant aroma and refreshing astringency. This cultivar is produced all over Japan, but it is rare to find such a delicious "Sayamakaori." The bitter and astringent taste is well balanced, and the aroma is entirely free of any cloying taste. It is an impeccable tea with only the best qualities of the cultivar. When you drink it, the first thing you feel in your mouth is a dry aroma reminiscent of kinako (soybean flour), and the second is a refreshing herbal aroma that quickly escapes into your nose. We hope you will experience these two aromas, which appear at different times.
