[Highest Gold Award Winner] Tenku no cha

Ryougouchi is a mountainous area in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, where the clear Okitsu River flows. The tea garden in the sky, at an altitude of 350 meters, is located on a steep slope surrounded by Mt. Fuji, the highest in Japan, and Suruga Bay, and a sea of ​​clouds spreads out in the early morning. From our long history as a well-established regional brand of Ryokawachi, our mission to protect and pass on this brand, and above all, our desire to pass on delicious tea with a focus on careful finishing, we created this “Tenku No  Cha” was made.

Features

This is an extremely elegant lightly steamed tea with a mellow, noble taste and refreshing aroma, and needle-like, beautiful tea leaves that are rich in umami and sweetness.

By reducing the amount of nitrogen and making up for the lack of nitrogen, we are able to bring out the unique flavor of the tea leaves. Rather than making tea based on human standards, we grow tea in a comfortable environment so that it can bring out the flavor and aroma that tea itself produces to the fullest, allowing people to feel that “tea is a natural product.” I am nurturing it with care.
