About the farm:  A family-operated tea farm, factory, and shop established in 1970 in the small town of Nearai on the outskirts of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. 2nd generation farmer Takayuki Tarui cultivates multiple cultivars on separate fields on the flatlands of Nearai and in the mountains nearby. Growing organically since his father started the farm, Takayuki certified his farm and factory in 2003. He seeks to provide clean tea, deep-steamed, for those who love green tea.

Tarui-san's daughter, Ai, is currently learning to cultivate tea from her father and will inherit the farm. 

The farm has two lovey pet goats, Haiji-chan & Yuki-chan, who help with the up keep of the farm by grazing the unwanted weeds around the fields.
