Tea

The Sakuma Brothers have been growing tea for over 10 years.

 We are one of the only two commercial tea growers in the entire United States. 

More than 5 acres of the fertile Skagit valley have been planted with Camellia sinensis tea plants.

When the tea leaves are ready for harvest, we hand pinch off each leaf at the stem.

Only 2 leaves and bud at the end of each branch are used for Sakuma tea.

The leaves are heated, rolled and dried. 

The brittle flakes of tea leafs are steeped in water and served as tea.
