Ishikawaen which produce and sell green teas

Enshu-Mori town, located in western Shizuoka prefecture, is the most well known tea leaf production area in Japan
Our teas are produced in the abundant natural mountainous area of the Ohta river basin.

Our area's natural features and climate, such as pure water and morning mists, are ideal for fostering tea leaves, and thus make this area one of the preeminent quality tea production districts in Shizuoka.

Belief 1: Tea leaf selection

We think carefully when selecting tea materials….arachas (tea leaves that have been dried out but not yet separated out) are essential.
We assess characteristics such as the taste, aroma, water color and shape of each tea leaf, and screen each leaf strictly and carefully.

Belief 2: Finishing techniques

Each aracha has its own characteristics and unique features such as "strong aroma", "well-shaped", "rich, umami taste", "fresh green water", "fresh and juicy", "refreshing aftertaste", etc.

Using only strictly selected aracha, our tea artisans finish the tea with unique processing techniques to fully bring out each tea's characteristics.
Heating and drying in the final stage is the key.

Belief 3: Creating taste and aroma by blending

We think carefully about selection of tea materials…..aracha is essential.
We assess the characteristics of each tea leaf such as taste, aroma, water color and shape, and screen them strictly and carefully.
The processes involved in making a single tea, starting with carefully selecting materials and finishing with blending, are just as delicate as masterful cooking.

For tea producers, it is a dream and a great honor to win the "Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize". In order to receive the prize, we must perfectly manage a tea plantation and finish a tea from carefully picked tea leaves using high-quality techniques. We use such techniques generously to produce our teas even for casual, everyday teas.
