Ingredients: Green tea (Shizuoka Prefecture) Contents: 80g x 2 cans The lucky cat has been cherished since the Edo period as a talisman that invites wealth and people. A lucky cat raising its right paw is said to attract financial fortune and good luck, while one raising its left paw is believed to invite many customers. With wishes for prosperous business, store openings, wedding celebrations, and retirement celebrations, how about this as a gift or for personal use? 【Arahataen's Fukamushi Tea】 Arahataen's tea is made using a deep steaming method that steams the tea leaves three to four times longer than regular sencha, resulting in "fukamushi tea." 【Makinohara Plateau Tea】 The Makinohara Plateau has long sunlight hours, allowing thick and nutrient-rich tea leaves to grow. By steaming these leaves for an extended period, the tannin (bitterness) content decreases, while the amino acid theanine (sweetness) increases, resulting in a mellow tea. The leaves become finer, but they feature a beautiful deep green color, mellow sweetness, and rich flavor. 【Commitment to Soil】 Arahataen believes that "delicious tea can only be made from thick, dark green leaves picked from strong tea trees," and thus focuses on soil preparation for tea cultivation. 【Natural Regenerative Agriculture with Rice Husk Compost】 Each autumn, rice husks, rice bran, and rapeseed cake are fermented with effective soil microorganisms to create rice husk compost. This nutrient-rich compost is evenly spread across vast fields to promote microbial growth in the soil, enriching it and enhancing its fertility through natural regenerative agriculture. 【World Agricultural Heritage: Shizuoka's Chagusaba Farming】 Chagusaba refers to semi-natural grasslands where grasses like bamboo grass and pampas grass are cut and used as organic matter in tea gardens. This is a common sight in Shizuoka Prefecture. The method of laying grass cut from chagusaba in tea gardens produces higher quality tea. This practice coexists with nature without disrupting its systems. *The chagusaba farming method in Shizuoka was recognized as a World Agricultural Heritage by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on May 30, 2013.* 【Important】 For customers sending gifts: If you are shipping to someone other than the purchaser, please select the gift setting.
