2020 Tea Season Has Started!

Mr Kajihara is one of the best-known tea masters for his kamairicha (pan-fired green tea) in Ashikita, Kumamoto. Recently, his wakocha (Japanese black) also attracts more tea lovers at home and abroad. 



His original and the best is kamairicha made from wild tea leaves. Nowadays, most of tea fields in Japan are well-cultivated, and we don’t see many such a wild and natural field any more. 





He also grows various cultivars including Yabukita, Okuyutaka, Benifuki, Koshun, Izumi etc to produce green, black, and sometimes oolong teas. 

According to Mr Kajihara, all the leaves have been growing healthy and beautifully, and he’ s been sleep-deprived. Now is the busiest season for Japanese tea producers. 2020 Kajihara tea production, and his sleep-deprived season have started. Can’t wait.
