Tea grown under the blessing of a waterfall 🌱

This is a rare and beautiful waterfall in Oguni Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, on the western side of Kyushu, Japan ✨

You can actually walk behind it — one of the most unique waterfall experiences ☺️

The dramatic landscape was formed 90,000 years ago by a massive volcanic eruption 👏
Oguni Town, home to this waterfall, is a hidden gem tea-producing area 🍵 

Although the harvest volume is small, the tea here is made with a special method that takes full advantage of the pure, mineral-rich water born from ancient volcanic activity.

Not only green tea — this region is especially famous for its wild herb teas 🌿

The vast grasslands of the Aso area (maintained by traditional controlled burning) are home to unique medicinal herbs and mountain plants.

 Local wild herbs are carefully blended into delicious, caffeine-free wild grass teas. They have a gentle, soothing flavor similar to herbal tea ☺️

Many are grown without pesticides, so you can enjoy them with peace of mind.

If you ever visit Kumamoto, I highly recommend trying them! ✨
