Nanbu Tea

In a town along the warm Fujikawa River at the southern edge of Yamanashi Prefecture, a mellow tea is produced: Nanbu Tea. Nanbu Tea, cultivated in Nanbu Town, is the largest scale tea production in the prefecture. It possesses a history that says tea cultivation was already taking place as far back as the Muromachi period; the warm climate along the Fujikawa River and the mountain mist nurture high-quality tea leaves. The tea is carefully prepared, primarily using the Yabukita cultivar. It is characterized by low astringency and a mellow, gentle flavor. Because it is not widely known nationwide, the joy of discovering it is all the greater. It is a hidden gem of Yamanashi tea that offers a soft aroma rising from your teacup. Please take your time to brew it in a teapot and enjoy a mellow cup.
