Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattu, this sencha was handpicked by Ayumi-san and a community of supporters from her fields in the mountains of Fujieda, Shizuoka. Just 10kg are picked turning into 2kg of leaf for an ultra micro production lot.
This sencha was produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth. The soil of the tea bushes of this sencha are enriched with the solids discarded by a traditional local soy sauce maker, sake kasu (rice discarded after being fermented for sake), from a local brewery. Rice and wheat straw from their own farm are also placed between their tea bushes to further enrich the soil. Ayumi Farms is therefore placed within a beautiful cycle of regeneration – this is the key to a sustainable way of living. Through tea production, Ayumi Farms continues to contribute to the way agriculture has been deeply rooted in the region (i.e., Fujieda, Shizuoka prefecture).
