This product is our house blend of this type of leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduction Method\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaves are harvested in March, having grown large and stiff over the winter months. After harvesting, they are steamed, dried without rolling (similar to tencha but a much simpler process), and roasted. Due to both the maturity of the leaf and the roasting, caffeine is minimal, so much so that the nickname for this tea is \"akachan bancha\" or \"bancha for babies\", and the tea is often seen in baby stores in Japan as a drink for newborns. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSteeping Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 grams. \u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 minute. \u003cstrong\u003eWater\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 ml.

Alongside honing his tea production skills, during this time he learned firsthand about the risks of pesticides. After his time at the cooperative he returned to the family tea farm in 1992 and continued to learn tea production from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka. Having learned about the risks of pesticides he started re-evaluating his family farm's approach to pesticide use and ultimately decided to shift the farm to using organic methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and plant diseases caused challenges on the first field he took charge of. At first crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was worth pursuing organic farming despite the challenges. Finally his hard work proved successful and the tea he produced became both delicious and pesticide free. Ultimately the whole farm switched to organic farming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Masuda-san has over 25 years of experience in organic farming and is proud to produce tea that aligns with his values regarding tea production and tastes delicious!
