Commitment to quality and safety
1. Warm climate and abundant sunshine
Located in the southern part of Japan, Kagoshima is warm and sunny throughout the year, and is characterized by thick, firm tea leaves. As a result, matcha with a mellow flavor and a good balance of umami components (theanine) and color (chlorophyll) is produced.
2. Mineral-rich soil from volcanic soil
**Kuroboku soil (volcanic ash soil)** derived from volcanoes such as Sakurajima has a good balance of drainage and water retention, making it ideal for tea cultivation. The nutrient-rich soil fosters a deep flavor and vivid green color.
3. High agricultural technology and stable production volume
Kagoshima Prefecture is the second largest tea producing area in Japan after Shizuoka Prefecture (about 25% of the national tea production), and a lot of tencha tea for matcha is also produced. Producers are excellent at mechanization and management techniques, and the stable supply of high-quality tea is a major attraction for buyers.
