More Details

Shizuoka, located a mere 30 km or about 18 miles from Mount Fuji, is a prominent and ancient tea growing region dating back to the 1,200's.   Due to past volcanic eruptions, the area has deep and mineral rich soil, abundant sources of pure water from ice and snow capped peaks, and clean, unpolluted air.  These favorable growing conditions  can sustain tea cultivation for many generations if they are wisely managed .   A very diverse micro-climate allows for a great variety of tea cultivars to thrive in this region.
