2017 Kagoshima New Tea Purchase Part 1

This year, the cherry blossoms are blooming late, and the growth of new tea is slow, about a week later than last year.

Every year, we go to the Kagoshima market to check the overall flow of tea leaves, and then see and taste the actual tea leaves.

We will carefully select the tea leaves.

And after that, I'm going to go around the field I'm picking today.
When you actually go around the fields, you can check the fresh leaves before processing, and imagine the next day's tea situation.
can do.
However, to be honest, the weather conditions are different every year, and the quality of the tea varies even from the same producer, depending on the location of the field where it is picked.
This year, it is necessary to grab the flow of this year and judge it immediately.
It is true that “seeing is believing”, and it is important to actually see, taste, and feel everything.
And I also feel that the relationship between people and human power is the most important thing when purchasing tea.
A gentle and delicious new tea that will fill your heart is likely to be possible again this year! !
