View Guide

Jiro Katahira

Jiro Katahira is one of the most revered producers working in Shizuoka today, having developed a reputation for meticulous farm maintenance and processing. His single cultivar sencha and kabuse offerings are some of the most in-demand in our catalog, only appearing for a brief moment in the early season. Katahira-san has been experimenting with matcha production recently as well, and the early results are as expected—terroir-driven and refined. It's a true pleasure to steward these teas, which stand alone in our curation as single representations of high mountain Shizuoka teas.

An unwavering commitment to quality.
