Introduction

Kuma Tea Garden started cultivating tea over hundred years ago in the mountains of Fukuoka, in the famous Yame region. The soil in the area is rich in minerals and is famed for producing particularly sweet and fragrant teas. The Kuma family pays particular attention to the soil. Based on the tea they are growing they determine the best cultivation methods and soil types most suited for the particular tea. They prioritise thoughtful cultivation, precise picking, and careful processing to produce the most flavourful teas possible,

Kuma Tea Garden has won numerous awards, including in very prestigious competitions such as the National Tea Competition and National Hand-Rolled Tea Competition.

The Family

Japanese tea instructor Kazumi Nakatani manages Kuma Tea Gardens as a brand representing her tea farmer uncles and cousins. She uses her expert palette to design exquisite sencha and gyokuro teas from the leaves farmed by her extended family.

Cousin Masahiro Kuma is quickly becoming a legend in Japan, having won the top prize (Minister's Award) forĀ  gyokuro tea category at the 2017 National Tea Competition.
