Their tea fields span 10 hectare with a total production of about 600 kilograms, a very small amount compared to many other operations, but they and the 9 other commercial farms in the village specialize in producing a shaded tea called Kabusecha. A subset of Mie Prefecture's Isecha (ee-SEH-cha), tea from Suizawa Village, takes the best flavors from sencha tea and the richness of gyokuro to form a delicious fusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twocol\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Marushige Shimizu family\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/Marushige-Shimizu-Family-300x200_large.jpg?7811325554476704658\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twocol\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"MARUSHIGE SHIMIZU COVERING THE KABUSECHA TEA FIELDS\" height=\"200\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/Marushige-Shimizu-covering-the-kabusecha-tea-fields-3-300x225_large.jpg?6927169626946481662\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twocol\"\u003eThe Shimizu family also operate the \"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kabusecha_cafe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ekabusecha cafe\u003c\/a\u003e\", in a \u003cem\u003ekominka\u003c\/em\u003e (traditional Japanese house) that was built 70 years ago.
