Shibamoto Toshifumi - 柴本俊史
Known affectionately as “Van Gogh” by Mohei for his artistic approach to tea cultivation, Shibamoto follows his own creative vision, crafting teas that are as unique and expressive as works of art.
His specialty lies in Kamairi-cha, a pan-fired tea that stands apart from the deep-steamed fukamushi-cha commonly produced in Makinohara.
Inspired by his studies in Miyazaki, Kyushu, he has dedicated himself to mastering and innovating this traditional method of tea-making, which involves roasting the leaves in a pan without steaming them.
Shibamoto’s passion for Kamairi-cha began in high school when he was captivated by its aromatic charm—so much so that he jokingly describes it as being “infected by the love virus.”
Beyond Kamairi-cha, he showcases his versatility with a range of tea specialties, including oolong cha, hojicha, and black tea. Each tea reflects his meticulous craftsmanship and deep knowledge of flavor.
