About Miyano Tea Factory
This family operated factory has been in business since 1869, and just celebrated their 150th anniversary. Takehisa Miyano cultivates tea on his own where he also often holds tea picking events and seminars, but as a factory, he buys quality tea leaves from farmers throughout the Sayama region, blending expertly into the very best teas. The Miyano Tea Factory believes that expensive tea is good tea but they emphasize that enjoying tea with others is the most important aspect. That is, to pour tea and to enjoy it with family or friends as a tool for communication ("Cha no ma"; 茶の間).
