Arahataen Tea Farm is a traditional Japanese tea farm located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1874, the company is one of the most renowned producers of Japanese green tea. Arahataen takes pride in producing high-quality teas, using a tradition that has been passed down through generations.
The company is also dedicated to sustainable and eco-friendly production methods. Arahataen is famous for using the Chagusaba technique, a traditional method of tea cultivation that involves planting grass along the tea fields to create a natural ecosystem.
This method not only contributes to biodiversity conservation but also enhances the quality and flavor of the tea. The company offers a wide range of teas, including well-known varieties like Sencha, Gyokuro, and Matcha, all of which undergo rigorous quality standards and careful processing.
