We still remember our surprise when we first visited Mr. Mukoujima's farm.
Aside from the fact that he organically manages 11 ha of farms, what surprised us was the unique way he grows his tea trees. On a typical farm, two rows of tea trees are planted in a zigzag pattern, spaced about 50 cm apart, but this is entirely different at his farm.
To keep the tea trees as stress-free as possible and allow them to grow in a natural environment, only one row of trees is planted every 1 meter apart.
On his farm, the number of tea trees in rows is less than half the usual way. This method, called "Ippon-jiitate," allows his tea trees to grow deeper and broader to absorb more nutrients and grow better.
The trunks are many times thicker than regular trunks, and when cut, you can see the annual rings on the trunks. The flavor and aroma are well-balanced, and the taste is modest but gradually permeates the body. Please enjoy the taste of organic tea as it is in its natural state, which only he can produce.
