This project is a collaboration with local moms and orange moms.

We dressed up as tea girls and took commemorative photos.

We had a tea picking experience.

Machine-harvested tea fields
This is a simple tea picking experience where you pick just one bud and two leaves.

Even small children can enjoy
Well done,
They picked them carefully.

After the experience
Fun break

We all have tea and rice.
Hand-picked tea leaves before they become matcha.
"Hand-picked tea rice" made with tencha tea.
This is a traditional dish that can only be found in a tea-producing region.

The rest after the experience is exceptional.
Thank you to all the participants.
Please come visit us again.
Tea picking has begun.
Tea picking began today, April 30th, 2015.
