Elementary school students had a tea picking experience

April 30, 2021, at a local elementary school

Wakazono Elementary School 5th grade students

During their comprehensive learning period, the students came to experience tea picking.

It was very cute and impressive to see the children becoming more and more absorbed in picking the fruit.

We also learned about the history of tea and processed tea products.

The tea leaves that the children bring home will be processed at home.

If you are worried about how to process

I'll give you the recipe

Please come to Takakaen.

To the children who came, the parents who accompanied them, and the teachers who were involved,

thank you very much.

Picking morning dew

At Takakaen, we grow a variety of varieties and hand-pick them.

One of them,

We have been picking "Asatsuyu," a rare tea leaf that is said to be a myth, for the past few days.

Asatsuyu Natural Tea Farm

Asatsuyu is sometimes called natural gyokuro,

This tea leaf has a strong flavor.

However, it is a difficult and labor-intensive variety to cultivate.

The leaves are small,

This year it has grown especially well.

They are taller and more relaxed than the tea pickers who pick the tea leaves while standing.

You can just about see the tea pickers' pink hats.

It's like being in a forest.

This is after hand picking.

The shoots have been picked and the stems are visible.

Even after the buds are picked

The white hat is still visible.

I'm glad that he grew up to be such a fine man.

Loaded with umami

These hand-picked tea leaves

New matcha tea is available in autumn.

This year, we will be exhibiting at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

It was scheduled for May 13th to May 19th,

Drinking fresh tea picked on the 88th day after the festival is believed to bring good health and longevity.

There is a legend that goes:

This year's 88th night fell on May 1st.

How about giving a gift of freshly picked tea leaves, picked on May 1st, for Mother's Day?
