Ocha no Kajihara(Kajihara Tea Farm)is a family run tea farm founded in 1950 and is currently managed by the third-generation owner, Toshihiro Kajihara with his wife and their son's family.
The tea garden employs non-pesticide and chemical fertilizer-free cultivation methods, and they focus on highlighting the characteristics of the tea cultivars to create fragrant, clear-tasting teas. They produce Kamairicha (pan-fired tea), Wakocha (Japanese black tea), semi-fermented tea, and flavored teas without artificial fragrances.

Inheriting the tea garden from his father and grandfather, Kajihara-san struggled for years to create a sustainable tea business as prices for tea fell and consumers switched to bottled tea. In order to make ends meet and keep the tea garden flourishing, Kajihara-san took a job as a factory operator for the local Agriculture coop. He also worked as heavy machinery operator building forest access roads and took on more financially stable crops such as rice, onions, and shiitake mushrooms. Despite many setbacks and hurdles, Kajihara-san persevered on the path of tea that his ancestors had walked before him. During this time, he refined his cultivation and processing techniques. Today in his late 50s, he is an award-winning producer of kamairicha green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. He takes particular pride in his traditional kamairicha folk tea. Even during a time when tea farmers, wholesalers and businesses are moving more towards steamed tea, his farm sticks to the rare and more labor intensive kamairicha manufacturing methods.
The farm has won numerous awards, both domestically and internationally. Notably, their Wakocha Benifuki 2nd Flush won the "Best in Show" award at a prestigious global tea competition
