Tsuchiya Tea Farm – Kawane Region
Altitude: 600 m Prefecture: Shizuoka
Located in the mountain region, Kawane, Shizuoka prefecture, the Tsuchiya tea farm is an award winning tea farm operated by the Tsuchiya family. They produce high-end, top quality green tea in limited supply. The high altitude (light and shade, temperature differences) causes the tea plants to grow more slowly so that they are harvested in the late spring. Combined with clean water and rich soil, this produces very, high quality, award-winning teas with enhanced aroma and flavour
