Because it is grown in a cold climate, the tea leaves are steamed for a longer time, which brings out a rich flavor and deep umami.
The taste is full-bodied yet smooth, with a clean aftertaste.

Navigator
Welcome to Tokyo!
Since my migration to the Sayama area, I have been a fan of Sayama tea, one of the top 3 Japanese green tea brands along with Shizuoka tea and Uji tea.
After 40 years of my business experience, I am now enjoying my slow daily life and enjoying Sayama green tea.
From my numerous visits to the Sayama tea plantation, I came to have deep knowledge about Sayama tea not widely known.
Just as Burgundy wines are defined by their specific vineyards, producers, and traditions, Sayama tea also has its own tea fields, processing methods, and dedicated tea shops. Tastes are different and unique one by one」Fortunately I could now partially master their differences.
Let’s enjoy with me as a navigator!
