Why aren't there more people in those fields? Children used to get a week off from school to work in the potato fields. Need to find a way to reduce unemployment? Look to yon tea fields for an answer!
I'm pissed, I've gone to such great lengths to learn how to grow and proses matcha green tea and I'm not getting shit! Could you recommend a good book on it? I would greatly appreciate it u would make my life much easier
What is the old lady saying about drinking something good (、、、入ってやって、飲むと美味しいですって、、、) as she hands over the leaves? :-) Infusing the unprocessed leaves?
@skawik I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video. I think that you are correct in noting that shin-cha is usually sold in the year it was harvested. After that it would no longer be "new" (though likely still quite good). ~Kurt :-)
Hello toukab, Thanks for letting me know you liked the video. I'm afraid that I do not know much about commercial green teas and am not sure of the health value of these. Perhaps someone more knowledgably will chime in with an answer. -Kurt
I used to drink tons of Arizona green tea, lipton iced tea and others of that sort. After trying organic green tea from Japan, there is an immediate difference. It definitely relaxes me, and feel a difference in my stress level.
@puresickmermaid I actually just ordered some fresh 88th day of Spring Harvests which from what I've read is the best.. as I have run out.. After drinking more tea's I feel Japanese Green tea may taste more bitter but is healthier. Meanwhile Chinese Green tea tastes better, but not as nutritious. Just in my opinion.
Hello monkeysmack, I'm happy to hear that you liked the video. Meeting this nice family and experiencing the hand-picking process was very meaningful to my family and I. I'm delighted we could share this experience with you. -Kurt :-)

@Kaminix
She says:「...熱湯を（ざーっと）やってね、飲むと美味しいですって」
*ざーっ*
As you may know, this is an onomatopoeia to express the sound of heavily flowing or pouring water.
"雨がざーっと降る" = It rains heavily. (rather a brief rainfall)
It can also refer to action taken in a rushed manner.
"本をざーっと読む” = read a book hurriedly
So "infusing unprocessed leaves (with a dash of hot water)" is correct.

@Alch3miss I agree! Japanese green tea is on an entirely different level. It's enchanting!
