The Amano family runs their tea farm on the high plateaus between Kumamoto and Kagoshima, known as the “tea fields in the clouds.” Cultivating more than 20 tea varieties without pesticides or fertilizers, the Amano family focuses on sustainable, chemical-free production rooted in deep respect for the land. Today, they are celebrated for pioneering Japanese black tea, which now makes up the majority of their refined, high-elevation harvests.
