수집: Yamatomo Farm Co., Ltd.

Our company is a 400 year old tea business. I am the fourth generation. We have been cultivating tea without using pesticides for about half a century. In 2024, we received the Fujinokuni SDGs certification from Shizuoka Prefecture. Since several years ago, we have been cultivating mainly with organic fertilizers made from food loss by adopting the "ochiba" (fallen leaves) farming method. It is an environmentally friendly natural cycle and sustainable resource energy. Our main business is Japanese tea, herb tea (sweet tea and kuromoji), black tea, and dried shiitake mushrooms (sliced). We sell to domestic trading companies, farmers' markets, and websites, and overseas to Singapore, France, Uzbekistan, and Brunei. In the future, we would like to introduce international certification, yuzu, and bergamot as part of our business.

Commitment to our products
We have been cultivating yuzu without the use of pesticides for about half a century. In 2024, we received the Fujinokuni SDGs certification from Shizuoka Prefecture. We have adopted the "ochiba" farming method for several years now, and cultivation is managed mainly with organic fertilizers made from food loss. The farm is also managed with an electric fence to prevent damage by birds and animals. The natural cycle is environmentally friendly and sustainable resource energy. We are also developing products using natural Kuromoji trees that grow wild in mountainous areas and products using sweet tea. (yuzu, lemon, ginger, ginger tea, etc.). In the future, we would like to develop products using bergamot to increase our company's product line.
