This tea comes from Seeki Island, where it is produced using a light steaming process that preserves all the authenticity and unique characteristics of the cultivated variety. Tanegashima is known as “Japan’s first green tea village,” and among its teas, “Shoju” is a rare variety that was selected and cultivated by the owner of the Tanegashima Sgoujuen tea house. This golden-yellow tea has a unique, slightly sweet taste of milk and vanilla that is not found in other varieties. This tea was awarded the gold medal at the prestigious Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2025 competition, an international recognition of the excellence of its taste, aroma, and quality. This tea is perfect for those seeking a subtle and balanced flavor that combines freshness and sweetness.
