In addition to our commitment to the environment that produces high-quality tea, [Kanehachi] always believes that the most important element in delivering delicious tea is "providing high quality and peace of mind."
Therefore, based on our belief that "tea where you can see the face of the producer is more reliable," we have established our own production management system with specific farmers in excellent tea-producing areas, such as those introduced here. We have established a system and are producing only ”safe and secure" crude tea, where you can literally see the faces of the makers, and delivering it to everyone.
Makinohara is Japan's largest tea plantation, developed in the early Meiji era by Tokugawa shogun retainers and Kawagoe soldiers. The tea from Makinohara Tea Farm, which stretches all over the hill that is most suitable for tea cultivation and overlooks the sacred Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay, is characterized by its exceptionally mellow, deep flavor, and no bitterness even when brewed strong.
Shizuoka is the birthplace of tea, and is an excellent tea producing area known as Honyama, which is located along the mountain upstream of the Abe River that flows through Shizuoka City. Fog naturally forms due to the difference in temperature between day and night, and it is characterized by its high quality, elegant and refreshing flavor.
Ryougouchi is a mountainous area in the middle of Shizuoka Prefecture, where the clear Okitsu River flows. At an altitude of 350 meters, it is a tea-producing region with Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay in front of you, and a sea of clouds in the sky in the early morning.
Kagoshima Prefecture is the second largest tea producing area in Japan after Shizuoka Prefecture in both area and production volume. In particular, tea production here in Chiran began in the northern mountainous Temino district in the early Meiji period, and is known as an excellent tea producing area, winning top prizes every year at the National Tea Competition.
The tea plantation of Mr. Ichise of Takaoka Town is located on a plateau at an altitude of 180 meters west of Miyazaki City, overlooking Mt. Wanizuka to the south, the Kirishima Mountain Range to the west, the Kyushu Mountains to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. High-quality tea is produced in this area, where the main stream of the Oyodogawa River flows to the south, and the Uranogawa River, a tributary of the Oyodogawa River, flows to the north.
