We grow the tea, make the tea, brew the tea, and drink the tea, but, ultimately, we are the tea.

#Repost from @kurihara.tea The results of the recent 2019 National Tea Competition, Gyokuro Category: like last year, #teafarmer Akio Kurihara (Yunomi.life/kuriharatea) took 4th place. He says, that National level wall is hard to break thru. Thank you to everyone who supported us! ・・・ 全国茶品評会2019 玉露の部 昨年に続いて1等4席（4位）。 全品の壁はやはり高いです。 応援していただいた皆様ありがとうございました。 Photo shows neighbors as they help to handpick the micro lot used for submission to the competition. At the regional Fukuoka Competition Kurihara-san managed to take first place and win the top Minister’s award (awarded only when there are 100+ contestants) for the first time, but every year he places consistently in the top 5 at these farmer-oriented competitions. #yunomilife #tealife #gyokuro #greentea #teanerd #teaholic #teaaddict #greentealove #tealove #teacrazy #teafarm #japanesetea #japan #yame #yamecha #fukuoka #tea https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CvYoODzW4/?igshid=lxjnecjy23d5

Congratulations to #teafarmer Akio of @kurihara.tea who just won the top prize, the Minister’s Award, for the Gyokuro Category at this year’s Fukuoka Prefectural Tea Competition. The minister’s award is only given out when the competition has 100+ entries. In the photo of the gyokuro leaves provided by Kurihara-san just before harvest, you can see the result of an advanced cultivation technique: termination of apex domination. A tea plant allowed to grow more freely for handpicking has an apex leaf bud at the tip of each branch as well as lateral leaf buds that form on older base leaves further down the branch. The plant will favor this apex bud giving it more nutrients to grow larger. By cutting off each and every apex at the start of spring, Kurihara-san forces these nutrients into the lateral buds infusing the new spring leaves with flavor. Those lateral buds are then carefully picked by hand. #yunomilife #kuriharatea #yamecha #gyokuro #teafarm #tealife #tealove #teafacts #teafact #teanerd #teanerds #teanerdsunite #teaholic #teaholics #teaaddict #teaddicts #teamania #teacrazy #greentea #greentealove #fukuoka #yame #japan #japanesetea #japanesefoodie #foodie #teatime #tealosophy #tealovers #teafarmers #teafarms https://www.instagram.com/p/ByAgyrgDlQI/?igshid=11ullio55z3lm

Way down south in #Yakushima, the Watanabe family are already preparing for the second flush harvest at the end of May... Meanwhile, up north in Saitama, they are just getting ready to harvest their first flush in some fields. #tealife #shincha #shincha2018 #yunomilife #hachimanjyu #japan #kagoshima #japanesetea #tealicious #teanerd #teafields #teafarms #teafarm #teafarmer #tea #greentea
