Location of production and farmer
Information about the farm
This tea is of course grown by Mr. Henta, a talented farmer in Kirishima, Japan. When we met with Mr. Henta for the first time, he taught us so much about the intricacies of different tea plants.ย
What was really interesting to us was his extensive knowledge of different tea plant varieties, also called cultivars. Each of these cultivars is a little bit different not only in terms of flavor, but also in how they grow.
Although Mr. Henta cultivates green tea on a very small field, he produces 8 different tea plant varieties in total. He has become an expert at blending these different tea plant varieties together to capture the best aspects of each.ย
