The tea leaves that we harvest this
time are for the competition.
We pick up "the top two leaves and a bud" of the tea plant.
This part contain Amino acids a lot,

Sometimes We concentrated picking,and Sometimes took a break while chatting.
So We worked together for a long time,Strangely,we felt a sense of unity.

And I found their feeling "We like these teas so much and we want to join the tea harvest."
At the shop"CHARAKU",I saw a woman who bought teas a lot.She said"I can't drink other teas since I had drunk these teas."
And at the annual exhibition in Netherland,there is a man who visit the booth every years.
Mr.Ooyama is committed to grow very much.I asked him "Why do you commit like that?"
He said "There are many people who need our teas."
I thought this spirit is the reason that these teas are loved by people all of the world.
