"Yume-wakaba" by Shimizu-en
Shimizu-en is one of the old tea farms that started cultivating tea in the middle of Edo Period. It has a tea garden of 3.4 hectares in Fujisawa, Iruma City, Saitama. Shimizu-en, which has been working the land for a long time, sticks to the good old method of tea production, that is, picking tea leaves by hand. At the prime time, they employ about 30 people to pick the leaves.
The 18th owner, Mr. Tomoya Shimizu, is a hard worker. He makes tea bags while cultivating and manufacturing tea.
‘Yume-wakaba’ is a new brand raised by Saitama Tea Research Institute in 2006. This tea has the advantage of a floral aroma and a clear umami taste. As Shimizu-en’s ‘Yume-wakaba’ is withered for one to two hours, its aroma is even more highlighted.
It is recommended to take this tea when you want to be relaxed or to serve this after a meal at a restaurant.
