It is said that green tea began to be produced in Japan when Zen Master Eisai, the founder of the Rinzai sect, brought tea seeds back from China’s Song Dynasty in 1191. During the high economic growth period of the 1950s, the cultivation of tea progressed alongside the spread of the "Yabukita" variety, and further improvements in flavor were achieved through the development of the "deep steaming" method, leading to significant advancements in Kakegawa tea. Kakegawa tea had the drawback of thick leaves and strong astringency, so the "deep steaming" method was devised to mellow its flavor. This method brought out the beautiful color and natural sweetness of Kakegawa tea, which gradually became beloved by many people. Today, in Shizuoka Prefecture, a major tea-producing area that accounts for about half of Japan's tea production, Kakegawa tea represents about 10% of that production. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The "deep-steamed sencha," which symbolizes Kakegawa tea, is recognized nationwide for its high quality and rich flavor, having received numerous prestigious awards at major tea competitions. Many of Kakegawa's tea fields are located on gentle hills, where the tea plants grow under plenty of sunlight, resulting in tea leaves that are rich in catechins. Catechins, a type of polyphenol, are said to have various effects, including lowering blood cholesterol, reducing body fat, and possessing antioxidant and antibacterial properties. 【Features】 - The "deep steaming" method developed to soften bitterness and make it easier to drink - Enjoy the natural sweetness and mild mouthfeel - The vibrant deep green color and rich aroma enhance the flavor of the tea *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

To produce good tea, climate and soil are certainly important, but above all, without the enthusiasm of everyone involved in tea cultivation, it cannot become delicious tea.

Its deep flavor captivates many people, and it has received the highest award, the "Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award," at the National Tea Competition for several years.
