Time for tea ・お茶の時間

伊野町の山々で「茶摘み」

---

Picking tea in the mountains of Ino Town


The unpolluted air and pure water of the Kochi mountains
provide an excellent environment for growing tea!
汚染のない空気＆きれいな水、
高知の山はお茶を栽培に最適な環境！

After picking: sorting
茶摘み後、仕分け


After sorting: roasting

To avoid burning, keep the leaves moving!

Tea Break!
休憩の時間！

The tea we had picked was not ready to drink
So we tried something from further afield:
Pu-erh tea, from Yunnan Province in China
made with water from the river
摘んだばかりお茶はまだまだ飲めなかったが
中国・雲南省のプーアール茶を頂きました。
