Green Tea from Yame |
 |
Yame is located in southern part of Fukuoka prefecture, Kyushu island.
In Yame-shi, there are many ancient tomb groups, including the Iwatoyama tomb which is an officially-designated historical site, and many important artifact, such as a clay figure, stone people and stone horse.,etc, were excavated. Also, at the Edo period, it prospered as a physical distribution base, and became the center of the economy, culture and traffic of the Yame district.
Legend of Yametsuhime - The name "Yame" derives from a passage
in the Nihon Shoki, The Chronicles of Japan, the second oldest book of
classical Japanese history: "There is a goddess in this area. Her
name is Yametsuhime and she perpetually stays in the mountain."
Green tea of Yame has a long history and very famous for its richness and
sweetness, and won the prize of Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
at the national green tea show in the year 2005 and 2006.
The production share of Yame is less than 3% of the market of green tea
in Japan. But concerning the Gyokuro, the market share of Yame is over
50%.
Ralatively high in temperature during a day, and cold at night specific
to inland area, and 1600mm-2400mm rainfall per year are ideal environment
for cultivating quality green tea. |

Green Tea from Shizuoka |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| "Fukamushi Sencha", produced with experience and fine craftsmanship uses high-quality tea leaves as an ingredient that we procure by binding a cultivation contract with practical farmers in Haibara-cho, Shizuoka, giving them detailed instructions from soil enrichment to the picking of the tea leaves. Picked tea leaves will be manufactured into drinkable tea by a deep-steaming method that is the best way to bring out excellent taste. |
| We won the Governor's Prizes several times in the "Shizuoka Finishing Tea Fair" and "Tea Tasting Technique Competition." We finish our tea with great care, and particularly emphasize on the initial firing that greatly affects the aroma. Depending on the nature of the tea, we use one of three kinds of machines: a traditional "Yokoyama-style batch-wise firing machine" which we have been using for over 30 years since our grandfather's time, a "steam-sending-air-permeable type dryer," drying tea with a flavor inherent to tea, and the latest "microwave far-infrared radiation firing machine." |
| Please enjoy the harmonious delicious tea that combines the richness inherent to deep-steamed tea, the sweet and astringent tastes. |
