小牧緑峰園KOMAKI RYOKUHOEN

古くから伝わる鹿児島の茶師の流れを今に受け継ぐ

Inheriting the tradition of Kagoshima tea masters from ancient times

南さつま市金峰。この地は鹿児島の茶づくり発祥の地とされ、古くから多くの茶技術指導者を輩出してきた鹿児島茶の技術的中心地です。ここで50年茶作りを続けている小牧一家は、もともとは薬屋だったそう。薬の商いの傍らで茶づくりの研究を続けたのが、後に医学と茶農家に分かれていき、現在の小牧兄弟が3代目。約12ヘクタールの畑から、毎年国内外で賞を受賞するような最高品質のお茶を作り続けています。

Minami-Satsuma City, Kimpo. This place is the birthplace of tea making in Kagoshima, and still the technical center of Kagoshima tea and has produced many technical tea instructors since ancient times. The Komaki family, who have been making tea for 50 years in this place, were initially running a local pharmacy. Besides the medical business, they continued their tea-making research, and later the family was divided into medical doctors and tea farmers. The current Komaki brothers are the third generation. From about 12 hectares of tea gardens, they continue to make the highest quality tea that wins awards every year in domestic and international.

兄弟でチャレンジし続ける、高品質茶の極み

The ultimate in high-quality tea that brothers continue to challenge.

二人のこだわりは、とにかく品質。畑の約40%は有機栽培ですが、有機でも最高の品質を目指し毎年試行錯誤を繰り返します。最近は有機の玉露やモガ茶、萎凋香緑茶の製造など、新しい需要にも応えられるようなお茶を他に先駆けて作り出しています。「自分たちが美味しいと思うお茶を、それを分かってくれるお客さんにお届けしたい」海外での日本茶人気の高まりを受けて、小牧兄弟の挑戦へのモチベーションはますます高まっています。

The brothers are very quality conscious. Approximately 40% of the fields are organically grown, but they repeat trial and error every year, aiming for the highest quality, even for organic tea. Recently, they are working on new types of tea that can meet new demands from customers, such as organic Gyokuro, Moga tea, and withered green tea. "We want to deliver the tea that we think is superior to the customers who understand it." With the growing popularity of Japanese tea overseas, the Komaki brothers are becoming more and more motivated to take on the challenge.
