The origin of Yame tea is said to be when he gave tea seeds to Taro Gorohisa Matsuo, a village headman (currently Kasahara, Kuroki-cho, Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture), and taught him tea-making techniques. As a result of this event, tea cultivation and production took root in Yame, and has been passed down for 600 years. Yame tea, cultivated in a rich natural environment and with careful handwork, is loved by many people as one of Japan’s most luxurious teas, combining sweetness, flavor, and mellowness.
