[Arahatateen's Deep Steamed Tea] Deep steaming method that maximizes the quality of tea leaves: Arahatateen's tea is made using a deep steaming method that steams the leaves three to four times longer than regular sencha, resulting in "deep steamed tea." [Tea from Makinohara Plateau] The Makinohara Plateau has long sunlight hours, allowing thick, nutrient-rich tea leaves to grow. By steaming these leaves for a long time, the tannin content (bitterness) decreases while the amino acid theanine (sweetness) increases, resulting in a mellow tea. The leaves become finer but are characterized by a beautiful deep green color, mellow sweetness, and rich flavor. [Commitment to Soil] At Arahatateen, we believe that "delicious tea comes from thick, dark green leaves picked from strong tea trees," and we focus on soil preparation for tea cultivation. [Natural Regenerative Farming with Rice Husk Compost] Every autumn, we create rice husk compost by fermenting rice husks, rice bran, and rapeseed cake with effective soil microorganisms. This flavorful rice husk compost is evenly spread across vast fields to increase microbial activity in the soil, enriching it and enhancing its natural fertility through regenerative farming methods. [World Agricultural Heritage: Shizuoka's Tea Grassland Farming] Tea grasslands are semi-natural grasslands where grasses like bamboo grass and miscanthus are cut and added as organic matter to tea gardens. This is a common sight in Shizuoka Prefecture. The farming method of laying grass cut from tea grasslands in tea gardens produces higher quality tea. This practice coexists with nature without disrupting ecological systems. *Shizuoka's tea grassland farming was recognized as a World Agricultural Heritage by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on May 30, 2 013.
