From one farm in Shizuoka to your bowl.

TORA didn't start as a brand — it started with one family's tea fields in the mountains above the Oi River, and a promise to bring what they grow to a wider table without changing how it's made.

Shoji Yoshio

A single family, seven decades of tea leaves.

Descendant of a storied family who passed down tea cultivation through generations, Shoji Yoshio runs his farm with meticulous precision and deep expertise in the secrets of the land.

His farm sits high in the mountains, at an altitude of 300 to 500 meters, where the sharp contrast between daytime heat and nighttime cold creates that exceptionally rich, balanced flavor that has become TORA's signature.
