About Kinpoen Seicha:

Established in 1953, Kinpoen Seicha is currently headed by Chisato Notsu, a single mother to three children. She runs the farm with her father, Kimio, and younger sister, Yuri. Situated in Oi Town, surrounded by abundant nature with views of Mt. Daisen on the shores of Lake Nakaumi, they are a full-time tea farm that uses spring water from "Menui," the first of Shimane's 100 Famous Waters, to produce tea in their own tea.
