【Farmer’s Message】

Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture, is the main producing area of Sayama tea, and vast tea fields spread out in the western part of the city.

Sayama tea is produced in the tea-producing region closest to central Tokyo.

This tea is produced mainly in western Saitama and the Nishitama region of Tokyo, and the region’s history as a tea producing area is very long, dating back to the Kamakura period.

As the saying goes, “The color is from Shizuoka, the aroma from Uji, but the taste is from Sayama,” the greatest attraction of Sayama tea is its strong flavor, and the traditional processing method known as “Sayama heating,” which brings out this flavor even more, is one of Sayama tea’s characteristics.

Sayama tea is known as one of the three great teas of Japan, along with Shizuoka tea and Uji tea.

“Tea brings people together and creates family time centered around tea.”

With this in mind, we will continue to deliver Sayama tea that will please our customers.
