At Yoshida Tea Garden, we begin selling new Japanese black teas around October each year. We deliver Japanese black tea with a stable flavor by aging the tea produced from spring to summer until autumn.

This Japanese black tea was produced in the year prior to the latest release. Its flavor changes depending on the aging period.

At Yoshida Tea Garden, we produce sencha from 6-7 different cultivars. (The specific cultivars may vary from year to year.) We capitalize on the unique characteristics of each cultivar, selling them as single-origin teas, and the product name for each sencha is the name of its respective cultivar.

We also offer international shipping. Shipping fees are set according to the destination region, so please check them on the purchase screen. *International shipping requires a shipping fee. *Some regions may not be available for shipping.

Generally, it takes 3 business days, but it may take 5 business days or more during busy farming seasons. If you are in a hurry, please contact us by phone or email. *Please note that we may not be able to accommodate urgent requests depending on our operational status. We appreciate your cooperation in purchasing with ample time.

Powdered tea is a product made from powdered "Sencha" (green tea). Matcha is made from powdered "Tencha" (tea leaves for matcha), and their production and processing methods differ significantly.
Compared to matcha, powdered tea has a milder sweetness, umami, and aroma, but it is characterized by its refreshing taste.
Like matcha, it can be enjoyed by dissolving it in hot water or making a latte.

Sencha is good for one year. Japanese black tea and Hojicha are good for two years.

Yoshida Tea Garden has parking available at its tea shop "OMOYA", tea house "HANARE", and sauna "NAYA". (Approximately 10 spaces in total) Please note that depending on the crowding, you may be directed to a parking lot other than the one closest to each establishment.

Some customers may find Yoshida Tea Garden's teas "expensive." At Yoshida Tea Garden, we focus on producing small quantities of high-quality tea. Due to the limited production volume and the extensive labor involved from production to sales, we have set our prices accordingly.
We are committed to providing tea that truly satisfies our customers, diligently working with both our products and our patrons every day. We appreciate your understanding.

At Yoshida Tea Garden, we cultivate tea in a way that is gentle on the environment, people, and the tea itself. We use the minimum necessary amount of two types of organic fertilizer, and pest control is only carried out for a limited period after harvesting, allowing us to produce tea that meets even the strict EU standards for pesticide residues.
We are currently in the process of switching cultivation methods to obtain organic JAS certification.
