Our first harvest organic Shizuoka sencha is grown in a secluded mountainous area close to the well-known tea road in the Kawane district of Shizuoka. The Kawane tea district, which is famous throughout Japan, is blessed with a beautiful environment, pure water, rich soil, plenty of sunshine and deep mist from the Oi river, all of which help produce this teas fine fragrance and flavor. A very popular organic sencha here in Japan, so it might be limited later in the season.
