ABOUT
“A day’s idleness in the garden work is worth one point, and ten seconds’ hesitation in tea-making is worth two.”
My grandfather’s words meant a lot to me, and as I work in the garden, making and finishing tea, I feel connected to what he was saying. When I started this job, I hated my grandfather, he was very strict, and it was easy for me to rebel against him and say, “I’m going to surpass my grandfather and shut him up! But the more I do, the more I feel his greatness. I don’t know what will happen to the tea garden in the future. When it does, I’ll be angry with him, I’ll be taught by him, I’ll learn from him, I’ll learn from him, I’ll learn from him.
We will continue to work on the gyokuro cultivation so that it will be something that people can continue to drink forever, inheriting firmly the genuine gyokuro production that my grandfather has made, not the gyokuro production that has adapted to the times.
PRODUCTS
