Don't be afraid, straight, natural
Young successors of tea-grass farming.
In order to continue and inherit the "tea-grass farming method", it is important to improve the motivation of tea farmers who are the managers of the tea-grass farm and to train the leaders. We interviewed young producers who will be responsible for making tea in the future at the actual tea-grass farming site. Those who were born in Higashiyama, who once left their hometown to go on to university or get a job, or those who got a job at a company and saw tea from a different perspective, absorb their experiences within themselves and work flexibly on agriculture. Young producers who are out. With a passion inside, he accepted nature without any hesitation, and while talking with nature, he looked straight ahead.
As a producer of tea-grass farming method, inherit the will of the predecessor
