Tea Forest
Trustworthy Tea Production Made Possible by Being a Small Tea Farm
Nori Mori’s tea garden is located at an elevation of 600 meters, in the uppermost reaches of the Warashina River, a tributary of the Abe River. Because this high-altitude region sometimes sees snowfall in winter, he is able to produce mountain tea with a rich umami flavor and aroma. “Kabuse-cha”—a tea produced by covering the plants to block sunlight shortly before the new shoots are picked, thereby bringing out their umami—requires precise timing for the covering process.Timing the covering to match the climate and the growth of the buds is a master’s skill. Because the tea is processed by hand, mass production is not possible, but he is supported by many loyal fans who love his tea.
