The family farms of Higashiyama practice an ancient farming method called Chagusaba in which tea fields are surrounded by tall growing grass called susuki and sasa, which are cut each autumn and laid in the tea fields to enhance the soil. A UNESCO designated Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS), the chagusaba method helps to preserve biodiversity including a grasshopper called the Kakegawa fukibatta, indigenous to Shizuoka. The teas featured here come from Chamoji no Sato, Higashiyama, a newly formed joint venture of the three cooperatives.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jUgb6r_8b7o\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompany Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand name: Higashiyamacha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVendor: Chamoji no Sato, Higashiyama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVendor type: Joint venture representing three regional agricultural cooperatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation (Cafe shop Higashiyama Ippuku Dokoro): 1173-2 Higashiyama, Kakegawa-shi, Shizuoka, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUNESCO Video on the Chagusaba Agricultural Method\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QfyuuzK4s7w\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"higashiyamacha-harunohi-premium-chagusaba-sencha","title":"#0316.S5 Higashiyamacha: Chagusaba Premium Sencha, Harunohi, Hashiri 東山茶 春陽","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePRODUCT INFO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yabukita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation \u0026amp; Processing Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Utilizes the Chagusaba Farming Method (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.higashiyamacha.jp\/img\/pdf\/eng.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more about this method here\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Season\u003c\/strong\u003e: Around April 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese name\u003c\/strong\u003e: 春陽\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 grams or 100 grams (original package)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cups in 100g\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42 cups (14 uses \/ 3 steepings \/ 1 cup per steeping.
