Our Australian Sencha Green tea is grown on a family farm in the Acheron Valley, where the Acheron and Goulburn rivers meet in northeast Melbourne. The family prides itself on producing the finest handcrafted Japanese-style green tea that Australia offers and uses biological farming practices.

Located in the southern hemisphere, the Acheron tea farm has a similar latitude as Japan's main tea growing area in the northern hemisphere. As such, the tea plants enjoy the similar climates of the four changing seasons, which is imperative to its quality. Since 2001 the family has transplanted and nurtured the small cuttings brought over from Japan to beautifully lush tea plants and have produced exceptional quality green teas.
