KAMAIRI-CHA means iron pot roasted tea, a method originating in China and now used in Kyushu, the southwest of mainland Honshu. This tea is mainly consumed in Kyushu and is considered to be a rare and exceptional item in Japan, where the majority of tea is processed by steaming. The largest producer of rare kamairicha, which is not usually seen outside of Kyushu, is Gokase Town, a mountainous area on the prefectural border between Miyazaki and Kumamoto prefectures.
