A note from Murakamien:  "Murakamien's tea is formulated in-house, mainly using organic fertilisers, and uses as few pesticides as possible. The deliciousness and freshness of the tea leaves is reflected in the taste of the tea. We take great care in cultivating tea trees, sparing no effort even in autumn and winter. The flavour of the fresh leaves comes out as is in the tea. Delicious tea comes from tea leaves. This is the belief of Murakamien."
