Issaku Japanese Green Tea is an exclusive green tea produced by Arahataen Tea Farm. This tea is unique due to its limited production, making it rare even in Japan. It is made using the deep steaming method, which results in a stronger flavor and natural sweetness.


It is exclusively harvested from the first spring plucking and handpicked by tea masters. Issaku tea is grown on specialized farms in the Shizuoka region, where the climate contributes to its exceptional quality. This tea is perfect for those who want to experience an authentic, high-quality Japanese green tea with a rich tradition and careful processing of each leaf.

About Arahataen Tea Farm

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.


In addition to tea production, Arahataen is dedicated to preserving tradition and educating people about Japanese tea culture. They offer tours and tastings at their farms and support sustainability initiatives.
