Furuta, Nishinoomote City, Kagoshima Prefecture Note: Freshness is important for tea. After opening, remove as much air as possible before storing and consume as soon as possible. This tea is grown without using any pesticides, chemical fertilizers or herbicides. We are a family run small tea farm in Tanegashima. Since the fifth generation was allergic, the fourth generation, the father of the fifth generation, said, “We can’t continue like this.” From around 2003, he switched to farming with less pesticides, and in 2012, completely shifted to organic JAS I started working on getting certified. Currently, the 4th and 5th generations and their families run the tea business, and we consistently manage, manufacture, and sell green tea and Japanese black tea without using any pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or herbicides. In order to make delicious Japanese black tea with stable quality, the 4th generation researched various things and repeated trial and error, and after about 3 years, finally arrived at the method of manufacturing with stable taste and aroma, and now “Matsushita Seicha”. Japanese black tea is complete. Matsushita Seicha’s Japanese black tea is sold after being matured in a commercial refrigerator for at least 3 months to improve its quality. Our “Matsushita Seicha” tea gardens are independent fields in the mountains, and the tea fields are kept at a certain distance from the surrounding fields, so there is almost no worry about pesticides adhering to the surrounding fields. Matsushita Seicha does not use any herbicides, so weeds in the tea garden are removed by hand. In addition, weeds around the tea garden are cut by machine. Organic JAS standards allow the use of some pesticides, but “Matsushita Seicha” does not use any pesticides. 《For customers using Mercari Shops》 Due to the specifications of Mercari Shops, you cannot purchase by specifying the quantity.
