Deep Hoshinomura Tea Farmer & Takaki Tea Garden
HOSHINO-CHA 奥八女星野茶農家 高木茶園
teas: multiple types of Gyokuro, Sencha, Kabuse-cha, Shiraore, Houjicha and Matcha
We are a tea plantation with an established history and production techniques that have been nurtured by the abundant nature of Okuyame since our foundation in 1983. We produce and sell high-quality green tea grown with the utmost care and attention.
We are tea farmers with a long and distinguished history, inheriting our trade from four generations of ancestors to produce delicious Yame tea, but most importantly Okuyame Hoshino tea, a variety much talked about as a first-grade product. Our proximity to the consumer provides our customers with a sense of reassurance.
We have confidence in our product and a devotion to quality that is characteristic of tea farmers.
A few Google Reviews:
“Fantastic tea store. Flavorful teas and other products. Akihitosan is a great person to talk to as well. We are very happy we have been able to learn about him, his tea and this store. Highly recommended!”
“Also the shop is simple, it is one place where you can drink some of the best tea in Yame. Takagi san takes great pride in producing his Gyokuro the traditional way, with actual straw cover. It is called dentou hon Gyokuro 伝統本玉露. Takagi san also speaks english, which is very helpful. The drive to get there is beautiful too.”

Akihito actually was the one who got me focused on helping bring some Hoshino magic to the world. We made at least the first page of our site at https://realjapanesegreentea.com – but we are not selling anything at the moment. But we’ll be selling his Kabusecha and Gyokuro. We actually helped him with the Kabusecha (Kabu = cover), so we covered the green tea with some tarps for a week, then took them off and he “trimmed the grass” as I like to say.
There are a few images and a video of Aki “trimming the grass” on the site. I’m not sure if anything like that can be posted directly on here?
When I get some more time I’ll share a few of the organic chaen’s close to us. We live in Hoshinomura, but there is an organic tea store in Ukiha and one in Kurogi, which are both about 25 minutes away from where we are.
