Yoshida Tea Garden was founded in 1839 (Tenpo 10) in Koga City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
For over 180 years, we have consistently cultivated and processed tea on this land.

This tour will take you behind the scenes of our tea production, to places usually not open to the public. From our history to soil preparation, cultivation, tea processing, and finally, a cup brewed in our tea house. This is a 4-hour experience where you can fully appreciate the entire tea-making process with all five senses.
