Tea Farm

Fundamental to the philosophy of Mr Toshihiro Hirayanagi, owner of the Yamahira En farm, is that tea is “soothing for the soul.” He therefore takes an innovative and holistic approach to tea cultivation, and has eschewed the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers since 2003. As chairman of the Fuji City Temomi Preservation Society, he is also one of the most well-known masters in the traditional art of hand-rolled tea in all of Japan.

GABA Tea

GABA tea is a functional tea developed in Japan which has high levels of the amino acid GABA due to its special processing. GABA is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and is involved in significant processes in the body, especially in the reduction of nerve irritation, stress management, mood, growth hormones (muscle formation), fat loss and the regulation of blood pressure. In addition, GABA tea also contains all of the other important ingredients of regular green tea, such as catechins, in similar amounts. GABA teas are appreciated by connoisseurs for their buttery, smooth taste.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements. Likewise, the regions of Japan from which we source our teas are tested for radioactivity for every harvest.

About Yoshi En.

Cultivation & Processing

The tea farm is located in a valley by the Ashitaka Mountain, to the southwest of the famous Mount Fuji. This protected area provides the ideal climate for the tea plants to grow, with plenty of fog and an optimal provision of water to the soil from the Sudo river, which passes through the valley. The farm has been able to avoid using chemical fertilisers and pesticides since 2003 thanks to these optimal growing conditions and their innovative farming practices. Instead, the farm utilises high-grade organic fertilisers such as kelp and buckwheat husks to optimise the quality of the soil and encourage the growth of healthy, nutrient-rich plants.

Single Origin

This tea is sourced exclusively and purchased directly from the Yamahira En tea farm in the Sudo River Valley.
