Tea from Tanegashima is the earliest tea that is harvested in Japan. This is possible due to the mild, marine climate on Tanegashima Island which allows the cultivation of particularly early-budding tea cultivars. One of the cultivars used for this tea (Shoju) even thrives exclusively on Tanegashima. The exceptional aroma and the fact that this is the first shincha of the year makes “Tanegashima” one of the most popular teas in Japan.
