Marujo Murakamien - A tea producing region with 100 years of tradition, overlooking Mt. Fuji above a sea of clouds.

The view of the sea of clouds and Mt. Fuji beyond the tea fields at an altitude of 350m is truly a "tea field in the sky."

At this farm, the third generation and young fourth generation of the Murakami family, who are passionate about the tea industry, cultivate tea using mainly organic fertilizer.

The appearance of the sea of clouds requires the coming together of several weather conditions, so whether or not you can see it is up to fate. However, it is quite tasteful to contemplate the sea of clouds while drinking tea grown in these tea fields.

"Honey Fragrance Black Tea" is a black tea with a gorgeous fragrance and an elegant sweet aftertaste that lingers after drinking. The "native species" is a rare native species that has been growing on trees over 100 years old since the gardens first opened, and is grown organically without pesticides. It is a wild green tea with a bitter taste and a rich flavor.
