[New tea information] May 3 Shizuoka production area information! : Just like last year, the arrival of fresh tea is delayed.
This year, there is no frost damage like last year, and the tea buds are growing very well.
However, due to the effect of less sunlight, it is about a week behind last year.
Last year, I also felt that buds are important and important for tea.
There is a trend to evaluate tea only by budai.
(Meai refers to the softness of the leaves.)
(By picking tea earlier, the quality of the leaves is softer and the price is higher.
See "Date of picking tea and price/quality difference")
Making valuable tea and having customers understand its value.
I think that the value that customers can understand is the "joy and excitement" when drinking tea.
I make tea while imagining the appearance of a customer who says, "It's delicious!"
Please look forward to it!
