land of the finest tea

On Japan’s central Pacific Coast, the green hills of Fuji City, Shizuoka provide the rich, fertile soil where the finest tea leaves in the world grow. Well-named, ‘Shizu’ means tranquil and ‘oka,’ hills. Their lush vegetation is fed by streams flowing from the great northern mountains, including majestic Mt. Fuji. The singular blend of abundant sunshine, mild seasons, ideal rainfall and coastal fog, create the perfect climate for our exceptional Yabukita to flourish.
