Tea Master Mineo Katase Director of Yamaman Tea Industry
Half a century of green tea!
When unrefined tea arrives from a trusted contracted farmer, we discern its characteristics, determine the optimum method, and manufacture and finish it.
During the tea-making process, we observe the tea many times to check the color, taste, aroma, and balance of the tea.
​Only good tea grown on the Makinohara Plateau is carefully finished to create a rich flavor.
We aim to improve the quality by continuing research such as plucking, steaming, and burning.
We are doing fine-tuned correspondence with high-variety, low-volume production.
It is characterized by strong aroma, umami, and sweetness even in the same deep steamed tea.
