Yamato Plateau, Nara Basin
The farm sits on the eastern edge of the Nara Basin — not one tidy plot but a patchwork of land inherited from tea growers across Tsukiji, Yamazoe, Tawara, and Muro. Roughly thirty tea farms spread over eleven hectares, stitched together into one operation, carrying forward what generations of local families once tended.
The Craft
The Standard
No pesticides, no fertilisers. Not certified organic — grown beyond organic. The absence of chemicals isn't a certification to chase here. It's simply the baseline.
The Detail
Even the grass between the rows is trimmed carefully by hand — not for appearances, but to stay in harmony with the surrounding community.
The Process
Sannen Bancha: leaves and whole tea trees left to grow slowly for three full years before they're touched, then roasted over a wood fire in winter. Patient, precise, letting the flame do the work.
Your Cup
Tea grown this way, shared with as many people as possible, quietly does its part for the health of both people and the land.
