Tea
Abe Tea (Japanese Sencha green tea)
The tea is grown in the misty mountains of the Abe River basin, which flows into Shizuoka City. The soil is rich in minerals and well drained, allowing the tea plants to store nutrients and grow strongly on their own. The tea has a smooth taste, yet characterized by its strong flavor and fresh aroma, packed with the vitality of the tea leaves, and its brewed color is golden.
Organic teas
Our organic tea selections are certified by JONA (Japan Organic & Natural Foods Association), a certification body authorised by IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) and accredited under ISO 17065.
Technique
Roasting tea leaves
Since its founding, we specialize in adjusting the heat from low to high in order to bring out the best characteristics of the tea. The unique roasting process, in which the tea is roasted to the limit of sencha (before it becomes hojicha), is a technique developed by Enji together with his team through trial and error, and has become one of Marufuku’s strengths.
