Local Pick
Overview
Rolling tea terraces above Omura Bay producing 60% of Nagasaki's leaf, rooted in 12th-century plantings.
The Sonogi district produces over 60 percent of Nagasaki Prefecture's tea, a lineage that traces to 1191 when Buddhist monk Eisai first planted Chinese tea seeds nearby. The rolling green fields terracing down toward Omura Bay make for striking photography, and local tea factories offer tours with tastings of deeply steamed Sonogi sencha paired with traditional sweets.
