Matcha Green Tea Plantation May 2019

Hello Matcha lovers! Today we are happy to share some videos and photos of our Green Tea Fields!
Our exclusive Matcha manufacturer AOI SEICHA started the first harvest of 2019 on the beginning of May.  In this season, all Nishio fields are covered by a huge black cover. It looks like a big black nori seaweed that extends to infinity.  It is our great pleasure to see young tea leaves healthyly grown up.

Please enjoy some videos which are Nishio Green Tea Plantations where our Matcha Green Tea products are produced. The tea plantation scenery in May is just heaven. The green tea fields are infinitely beautiful, a world of only the sound of the wind and the fluttering of leaves.

The first harvest of the year is the most important and leaves collected during it will be used for tea ceremony grade. These leaves are sweet and tasty and the color is bright green. They are first quality sheets also in regards to nutrients because they retain all the vitamins and food accumulated since the fall of last year until this spring.

The second, third and fourth harvest made by machine will be used for cooking grade. This grade has a stronger flavor and a little bitter, but it is the appropriate level for cooking sweets (cakes, chocolates, cookies, etc) . The demand of Matcha for cooking increases every year worldwide and AOI SEICHA and THE MATCHA HOUSE EUROPE prepare for this trend increasing enhancing the capacity of harvesting machinery.
