Tea flowers are the seasonal word for November in haiku. The language of flowers is "remembrance" and "pure love". It has its origin from the image of white and rustic flowers and the nostalgic atmosphere. In the tea plantation, tea flowers bloom only a few times, and there are very few opportunities to see them. The place is planted in a flower bed along the road next to the main entrance. Please come and see it. LanguageThis page was automatically translated.

Autumn and winter bancha picking begins in late September.

On Friday, April 9, 18 members of the Ogasa Hand-Kneaded Tea Preservation Society made their first pick. I plucked about 6 kg of shoots. After that, the picked tea leaves are placed in a "seiro" and steamed with strong steam to turn them bright green. After steaming, start working on the "hoiro (drying table)"! It is called "leaf shaking". The tea leaves that have been warmed up on human skin are collected and rubbed while rotating. "Light rotation", "heavy rotation", "kneading and kneading" and step on the stairs. The hand-made tea made in this way becomes a long and thin tea like a needle.

At the new tea picking party the other day, I carefully hand-picked the tea buds and kneaded them into sencha tea! The entire process from "steaming" → "drying" takes about 7 hours. Unlike machine-made tea, it is characterized by being elongated like needles. Hand-kneaded tea has a deep and rich flavor that spreads the aroma of tea in your mouth.
