🌿 Organic Mountain Tea from Japan

Grown Deep in the mountains of Yame, Fukuoka

Welcome to Sky Tea House’s tea page.

We offer naturally grown Japanese tea from deep in the mountains of Yame — a place far from the hustle of the modern world.

Our tea is:

  • 🌱 Grown with organic fertilizer

  • 🐞 Pesticide-free — we do not use any chemical sprays

  • 🌄 Cultivated in an uncovered field(no kabuse), allowing the tea to develop a nostalgic, old-style flavor

  • 🌿 Fukamushi (deep-steamed) for a rich, mellow taste

 

🛠 A Tea Grown by Hand, with Heart

These tea fields were once abandoned. As a newcomer to the village, I, Jiro Sakamoto, was entrusted with this land.

Together with friends, travelers, and volunteers who visited Sky Tea House, we cleared and cultivated the field by hand.

The tea we produce is small in quantity, but full of stories and spirit.

As a very small-scale tea producer, we are not certified under the JAS organic program.
Obtaining official certification at our production scale (approximately 100 kg per year) would require raising the price by around ¥200 per bag, which is not practical at this time.
For this reason, we have no plans to pursue certification, though our tea is grown with organic fertilizer and without the use of pesticides.

🌍 A Story to Share

In the past, I have:

  • Walked across Japan from Hokkaido to Yame for 4 month on the road, selling tea along the way

  • Presented this tea to José Mujica, the former president of Uruguay — often called the world’s humblest leader

If you’re looking not only for delicious tea, but for something with roots, meaning, and a human touch, this is for you.

🌱 Why is it so affordable?

Our teas are grown in the same way as organic and pesticide-free farming, yet the price remains affordable. Why? Because we don’t have a shop or advertising costs, we don’t invest in large machines, and instead, our tea is supported by real people—friends who come help with weeding, and others who spread the word on social media. For those who support us in bulk, we offer prices equivalent to wholesale – for example, Sencha costs about ¥840 per 100g.

We don’t hold official JAS organic certification, but instead, the people who have seen our fields and landscapes with their own eyes become part of this effort, offering help and encouragement. With friends who join us for weeding, tea picking, and even processing as a shared experience, we are able to offer tea not as a commodity, but as something we share with others.

That’s why we can offer high-quality, naturally grown tea at an honest and accessible price—because it’s not about maximizing profit, but about sustaining a way of life, together.
