The Inspiration Behind the Creation

Nana's Green Tea aims to introduce high-quality domestic tea to a broader audience. The organically grown tea from Yakushima is now offered across all stores since April 2023. Despite the increasing awareness of Japanese teas, many remain unfamiliar with the taste of domestic varieties. In response, the brand launched 'TEA & LEMON' as a refreshing treat in early summer 2025, which received a warm reception. Following this success, they developed the Mango & Chai series as a delightful summer addition.

Experience Yakushima's Organic Tea

Yakushima's climate, characterized by high humidity and warm temperatures, is ideal for quality tea cultivation. Featuring invigorating, light flavors, this organic tea is renowned for its delightful sweetness and aromatic qualities, providing a smooth mouthfeel and refreshing aftertaste.

Meet the Producer: Masahiro Fujiwara

Masahiro Fujiwara, the second generation of his family to farm tea in Yakushima, shared his philosophy: "We let nature take its course, minimizing interference." His father began tea cultivation on the island, recognizing early cultivation practices as beneficial, especially during typhoon seasons. They initiated organic farming about 30 years ago, adapting natural methods suitable for Yakushima's ecosystem.

In tea production, Fujiwara believes that nature should dictate practices, from irrigation to harvest timing, ensuring optimal quality. This dedication to minimal intervention allows the tea's innate flavors to shine.
