Sourced in Shizuoka
Iwata, in western Shizuoka Prefecture, is renowned for tea cultivation. The Iwatahara Plateau’s flat terrain, excellent drainage, and fertile red-yellow loam soil create ideal conditions for growing flavorful tea. Blessed with abundant sunlight and a mild climate, the region produces deep-steamed green tea with a vivid color, smooth taste, and rich aroma—qualities that reflect both the land’s natural gifts and the careful cultivation of local farmers.
