Kenichiro Shimokubo is one of the most passionate tea farmers we know. With constant research and attention to soil conditions, regular soil analysis, and home-made organic fertilizers, he creates the most suitable environment for tea.

He manages a total of 45ha and more than 20 varieties of cultivars, and one of the top-class producers in Kagoshima prefecture. He is a dedicated learner who never stops working to improve the quality of his tea every year. Mr. Shimokubo’s tea features its taste created by the mild climate and rich farmland of Kagoshima.

Among many cultivars, Okumidori is a cultivar characterized by its rich umami flavor and fresh, clear, and refreshing aroma. The fragrant-finished tea leaves have a powerful taste with rich umami and a wonderfully fresh, vegetal aroma. This year’s Okumidori is produced as it tastes unforgettably impressive. Hope you enjoy the distinguishing rich taste.
