New Tea Harvest Begins!!

Hiroshi Yamaomto 30.April.2023 0 comments

Yay, it's tea season again! The time when we get to pick tea leaves with our parents and grandparents has started. We wake up super early and head out to the fields to find the best tea leaves. We have to be careful to only pick the young leaves that are soft and green.

After we fill our baskets with the tea leaves, we take them to the tea processing factory. It's really cool to see how the tea is made! First, the leaves are spread out on big tables to dry out a bit. Then they get rolled up into little balls and put in a machine that heats them up.

The tea smells amazing as it's being made. It makes me feel like I'm in a giant tea cup! I can't wait to taste the tea that comes from these leaves. Each year, the tea tastes a little different because of the weather and other things that affect the plants.

The tea season lasts for a few weeks, and there's always something to do. Sometimes we have to help with weeding or watering the plants. But mostly we get to run around the fields and have fun.

At the end of the day, we're all tired but happy. We've spent time with our families, learned about where our tea comes from, and got some exercise too! I can't wait for tomorrow to do it all over again.
