According to Hiroki Murakami, who will become the farm’s 4th generation master, the family doesn’t know exactly when they started farming tea, though his great-grandfather was the one who built their first processing factory in the late 19th century.

Based in the Yoshiwara district, a mountainous region famous for its sea of clouds within the municipality of Shizuoka City, the family produces about 2 tons of tea altogether per year (first and second flushes).

Murakami-san began producing black tea just a few years ago but has been winning awards in Japan for his production.
