Shizuoka Prefecture -
Largest Producer of Green Tea in Japan - A Long Tradition
Shizuoka Prefecture accounts for 45% of Japan's overall tea production, and the prefecture is at the leading-edge of research on the benefits that can be obtained from green tea. Green tea plantations date back to 1241, when a monk named Shoichi Kokushi returned from Sung China to his native province of Shizuoka with green tea seeds, which were then planted in this area.
At the festival, representatives from the Prefecture will demonstrate new ways of preparing and serving some of the fine green teas they produce. Learn more about green teas and sample some of the best in quality.

The Tao of Tea -
Pure Leaf Purveyors
Tea purists seek only the clean, clear and pure flavor of the leaf. This is because the unadulterated leaf has the capacity to provide an experience which has inspired many artists, musicians, philosophers and monks. Our company is based on this premise and offers great quality leaf that is fresh, flavorful and full of soul. Only a small portion (less than 5 percent) of all tea made in the world comprises the 'orthodox' or full leaf style of processing. In addition, only a few tea areas remain where 'old-style' hand processing is still practiced from tea plants that grow wild or those that have been preserved for centuries. The Tao of Tea works primarily with tea growers that practice this true art of tea making.
