Toward a future where people are living with nature

Kenichi Shizen Nouen is located on the Yamato Kougen(Yamato Plateau), a mountainous area on the eastern part of the Nara Basin. We inherited the tea farm from the people of Tsukiji, Yamazoe, Tawara, and Muro, and currently manage about 30 tea farm across approximately 11 hectares of land. Our cultivation method is completely free of pesticides and fertilizers. At the same time, we carefully trim the grass as beautifully as possible to maintain harmony with the local community.

This tea is made from tea leaves and tea tree that have grown slowly and carefully for more than three whole years. Drinking a cup of warm three-year tea will make your body warm and your mind relaxed. Please enjoy a cup of tea that is filled with the workings of nature in the tea farm surrounded by rich satoyama landescape.

The warmth of nature

The natural cultivation we practice is a harmonious farming method that uses no pesticides or fertilizers whatsoever. It follows nature's own mechanisms, allowing us to enjoy its bountiful gifts while preserving beautiful soil and the environment. We operate our farm believing that having as many people as possible enjoy our tea as “delicious” and continue drinking it contributes to the conservation of the natural environment and the physical and mental health of people.
