Loved by the people in the town of Asahimachi Birudan of Toyama Prefecture, it is a fermented tea similar to Chinese pu-erh tea, and is traditionally drunk whisked and foamed with a pinch of salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory of Batabatacha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earliest known record of this tea comes from a visit by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rennyo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRennyo\u003c\/a\u003e, the 8th head priest of Jodo Shinshu sect of Buddhism, in 1472 where he \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www4.tkc.pref.toyama.jp\/toyama\/topics_detail.phtml?Record_ID=384e37353fb62eb204daa230f6b30e7b\" target=\"_blank\"\u003enoted\u003c\/a\u003e that the locals were combining this tea with rice and alcohol into a single dish that was eaten\/drunk. Production however had died out by the 1970s, and the people of Birudan in Asahi Village were buying their dark tea from tea farmer Hideo Shimizu in Mihama Village, Fukui Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1975, the aging Shimizu-san had decided to stop production, and Akinobu Hagiwara of Kosugi Village, Toyama learned the process, taking over production for the people of Birudan. In the 1980s, the Village of Birudan itself together made an effort to learn production from Hagiwara-san to ensure the tradition was not lost, and established fields in the village in the 1990s. With the help of Kagawa University Professor Kinjiro Miyagawa, the village improved the quality of the leaves, and now production has become a community project led by the local chambers of commerce. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is batabatacha made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third flush in July - August is the harvesting season for tea leaves used in making batabatacha. Tea leaves are picked by the branch, and are chopped up before steaming until the color becomes yellowish-brown. Steaming process stops the function of enzymes. (This step allows the tea to be classified as green tea. Without this step, the enzymes would oxidize the the leaves turning it into an oolong or black tea, though there are other steps in making oolong and black teas to consider.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter drying the tea for half-day, it is placed in a wooden box for fermentation (this step would allow the leaf to be classified as a dark tea). When the leaves have reached about 65-70 degrees Celsius, they are laid out in rooms and turned every 2-3 days for 3-4 weeks. They are then taken outside and dried in the shade for half a day, before drying in the sun for 2-3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this particular region of Toyama Prefecture, batabatacha is served at various events such as a gathering for ancestor's commemoration or when introducing the bride after the wedding ceremony. As a type of 'tea party' held among family, close relatives and friends, the serving of this tea is ceremonial, but casual at the same time. Brewed tea is poured in a tea bowl to be whisked until it creates a foam. People in the town also drink unwhisked batabatacha with their everyday meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVitamin B12\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have not tested batabatacha for vitamin B12 ourselves, but this study claims that the tea contains a significant amount: '456 ± 39 ng per 100 g dry tea leaves and 2.0 ± 0.3 ng per 100 mL of tea drink'.
