The fields of Nishi Seicha are located in the top terroir of Makizono, nestled in a sheltered valley at around 360 meters above sea level, between the idyllic mountains of Kirishima in Kagoshima, Japan’s southernmost prefecture. The combination of Kagoshima’s mild, subtropical climate and the cooler mountain altitude of Makizono creates the perfect conditions for cultivating the finest green teas.
The dark Koruboku/Andosol soil is rich in nutrients and humus, with a high content of mineral-rich volcanic ash, further enhancing the tea’s exceptional quality.
Origin
This tea is a blend of the above-mentioned tea field in Makizono (>50%) and other organic partner farms in Kagoshima, sourced directly from the tea farmer.
