[What is covered tea?] Covered tea is a tea plantation that is grown in shade netting to block out strong sunlight for a few days before the new buds are picked during the first tea harvest. This cultivation method is still not very common, even in Shizuoka, a tea-producing region. [Arahataen's Deep-Steamed Tea] Deep-steaming method that brings out the best in high-quality tea leaves: Arahataen's tea is a [deep-steamed tea] made using the deep-steaming method, which steams the tea leaves three to four times longer than regular sencha. [Makinohara Plateau Tea] The Makinohara Plateau receives long hours of sunlight, which allows thick, nutritious tea leaves to grow. By steaming these tea leaves for a long time, the tannin (bitterness) content is reduced and the amino acid theanine (sweetness) is increased, resulting in a mellow tea. The tea leaves are finely divided, but are characterized by their beautiful deep green color, mellow sweetness, and deep richness. [Commitment to soil] At Arahataen, we believe that delicious tea can only be made from thick, dark green tea leaves picked from strong tea plants, and we are committed to tea cultivation, starting with soil preparation. [Natural Reduction Farming Method: Rice Husk Compost] Every autumn, rice husks, rice bran, rapeseed meal, etc. are fermented with beneficial soil microorganisms to create rice husk compost. This delicious rice husk compost is spread evenly over large fields, promoting the proliferation of microorganisms in the soil, enriching the soil, and improving its fertility, all in a natural reduction farming method. [Shizuoka's Chagusaba Farming Method, a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System] Chagusaba is a semi-natural grassland where grasses such as bamboo grass and Japanese silver grass are harvested and used as organic matter in tea fields. It is a common sight in Shizuoka Prefecture. The farming method of spreading grass harvested from Chagusaba on tea fields produces higher quality tea. This practice also allows for symbiosis with living organisms without disrupting the natural system. *Shizuoka's Chagusaba Farming Method was designated a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on May 30, 2013.
