Although all kinds of Shizuoka tea have been highly evaluated, there are some differences in tea characteristics such as taste, color and aroma among production areas. Each tea has its own unique advantage. For instance, some are enjoyed for their green notes and refreshing taste, while some are enjoyed for their aroma. The production of fine tea requires a good balance among the weather, the soil, and the wisdom and experience of earlier people —in other words, the perfect harmony among Heaven, Earth, and Man.
If you are a tea lover, I think it is a worth visiting Shizuoka to enjoy a wide variety of tea!
