In the picturesque prefecture of Fukuoka, nestled in the green landscape of the southern island of Kyushu, stands the Reigenji Temple - a testament to Japan's deep-rooted tea culture. The venerable Zen priest Eisai, known as the pioneer of green tea in Japan, inspired one of his disciples to found this temple in the thirteenth year of the Ohei period in the 13th century. On a trip to China during the Ming dynasties, a treasure was brought to Japan: the tea that achieved eternal fame as yame-cha. This historic site laid the foundations for tea cultivation in Japan's south and perfected the art of tea enjoyment.
Yame cha, the cultivation of which has flourished ever since, is considered the jewel of the Japanese tea world. Known for its incomparable intensity of flavor and velvety, heavy sweetness, it delights even the most discerning tea lovers. Hand-picked leaves, carefully processed, characterize this tea. The special character of Yame-Cha unfolds in a symphony of flavors that enriches the enjoyment of every moment.
