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.

These hand-picked tea leaves

New matcha tea is available in autumn.

The exhibition at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store has been cancelled.

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

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

It has been cancelled due to the state of emergency declaration.

I am very sorry that I cannot meet everyone in the Kanto region.

We also received inquiries from people who look forward to the event every year.

This year, we are now able to purchase new tea online.

Mother's Day gift available

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?

Naturally grown, hand-picked tea fields

This is a naturally grown tea plantation where the tea plants grow to the height of an adult.

It's hard to know where the tea pickers are,

It's under a blue bag hanging on the shelf.

The blue bag is

When the tea picking basket is full of picked tea leaves,

It's a bag for tea leaves.
