《The Origins Of Japanese Tea, Asamiya Tea》

The history of Asamiya tea reaches back to the period (794-1185) when the Buddhist monk Saicho, who later became the founder of the 　Tendai sect,　brought back tea seeds from China at the time of Tang Dynasty. 　　
Thus, the tea farms found here make up one of the original Japanese tea growing districts with a 1200-year history.

Asamiya Tea’s Character

Asamiya tea is known for its distinct aroma and　 profound taste and iscalled ‘Aroma of Asamiya’. As is typical in mountainous areas, the extreme temperature gap between day and night creates a mist 　and provides the clean air and pure water which all contribute to this top quality green tea.
