Organic Yakushima Tea
The Yakushima organic tea presented in these menu items is USDA JAS certified and has been featured in nana's green tea outlets since April 2023. Offered in both hot and iced varieties, it has received positive reviews for its rich flavor and refreshing aroma.
Yakushima Island’s unique climate conditions—characterized by high humidity and rainfall—create the perfect environment for cultivating high-quality tea. This region has an average temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, making it an exceptional locale for tea farming. The organic tea boasts a noticeable sweetness and a refreshing mouthfeel, allowing drinkers to savor its delightful flavors.
Farming Philosophy
Masahiro Fujiwara, the second-generation tea farmer, is committed to ecological practices that prioritize the well-being of both the land and the consumers. Fujiwara believes in allowing nature to guide the tea's growth with minimal intervention, stating, "I don't do much apart from letting nature take its course." His dedication to organic farming began approximately 30 years ago in response to the challenges of chemical fertilizers washing away due to frequent rainfall.
Fujiwara employs a philosophy of working in harmony with nature, using the inherent qualities of the environment to nurture tea plants naturally. Moreover, he pays attention to the timing of production, adjusting processing to the weather quality for the best results.
