Weeding tea fields by hand

Spring comes,

The grass has started to grow first, rather than the tea leaves in the tea fields.

We all pulled weeds.

there was.

Even in the straw...

there was.

Even if it's beautiful...

So many. And there's more.

But the grass has amazing vitality.

I weed like this dozens of times a year.
