About Shizuoka Tea Producing Regions

Shizuoka has a long, distinguished history of tea production, defined by centuries of refined techniques and culture. Today, accounting for over 30% of Japan’s total tea-growing area across more than 20 distinct regions, it stands as the country’s leading tea producer.

The true charm of Shizuoka tea lies in its diverse terroir. From expansive plateaus to the mountainous reaches along the Abe, Oi, and Tenryu rivers, each tea is nurtured in a unique natural environment. In the mountain regions in particular, morning mist, drastic day-night temperature swings, and pristine water come together to create a tea with a rich aroma and exquisite depth.
