Tea Farm

The Shibushi organic farming collective is one of the largest and most important in southern Kagoshima, proudly carrying on the tea growing tradition in Shibushi, which dates back to the early 18th century. The tea fields are cultivated in a particularly efficient and environmentally friendly manner, using their own specially developed machinery. Water, rice bran and high air pressure are used to protect the plants from pests while simultaneously enriching them with nutrients. Furthermore weeds are removed using steam. The tea farmers carefully assess when to use any machinery, as they believe the natural ecosystem should be disturbed as little as possible. In recent years, their teas have won many awards, including the esteemed Nihoncha Award, the Japanese Tea Selection Paris, and the British Great Taste Award.

Matcha

Made of finely ground shade-grown leaves, Matcha is one of the finest Japanese teas. Unlike other green teas it is made from the whole leaf and is therefore packed with nutrients. Good matcha has an intense, sweet taste and plenty of umami with barely any tartness even when prepared as thick, concentrated Koicha, as drunk in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
