Yamaguchien (山口園)

Founded in 1978 and certified organic in 1994, Yamaguchien has been committed to producing safe, healthy, naturally-grown tea directly to consumers. Such a commitment requires immense dedication and perseverance as the struggles of organic farming can provide many hurdles and setbacks. The Yamaguchi family's hard work is evident in their tea, which is intensely aromatic and flavorful without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers.

Cultivating tea in Satsuma allows Yamaguchien to utilize the region's naturally suitable growing conditions to their benefit. The Sendai River's mist along with the warm climate and large swings in temperature all help to bring out the best flavour from the tea plants.
