The fields of our farming collective are located in Shibushi, nestled between the mountains of the southern island of Kyushu and the Pacific Ocean in southern Kagoshima. The tea farm specializes in making organic farming particularly efficient and environmentally friendly, with specially developed machinery for gentle and 100% natural pest removal. For their matcha, the farm uses Kuradashi tencha, in which the harvested tencha leaves are allowed to mature for several months, resulting in a deep, particularly mild and mellow flavor in the matcha.
