A 100-Year Old Tea Production Site Set Above the Clouds With a View of Mt. Fuji
At an altitude of 350m with a view of both Mt. Fuji and the clouds, this tea plantation is truly a "sky tea paradise".
At this tea plantation, the third and youngest generations of the Murakami family, who are passionate about the tea industry, cultivate tea using mainly organic fertilizers.
In order to see this sea of clouds you must visit during the correct weather conditions, an act decided purely by the heavens. No matter when you visit, there is a sense of elegance in drinking tea while dreaming of the sea of clouds at the plantation.
"Mikko Black Tea" is a black tea with a sublime aroma and an elegant sweet aftertaste which lingers after consuming. The "indigenous tea", which has been grown since the opening of the plantation, has been around for over 100 years and is grown organically without pesticides, giving the ""wild-tasting"" green tea a bitter taste with a hint of umami.
