Morisakiさん
Tokyo-born, IT/Environmental engineer turned tea farmer, Morisakiさん.
Many of the native tea plants, known as Zairai (在来) in his garden are over a century old.
This is very uncommon, as old bush trees produce less tea, and are less attractive on the commercial market.
Morisakiさん protects them, giving us access to the wild authenticity of the land.

Harashimaさん explained, “The large temperature difference between day and night makes Yamecha unique. It causes the plants to grow up differently.”
Indeed, this temperature difference is noted to encourage growth and higher sugar content in plants.
