These days, I spent more time for organic gadens so that it was physically very tough trip since my choice of organic gardens are mostly located in deep inside of mountains.
But they are real deal: genuine tea growers rather than just "I keep JAS certificate rule" gardens.
Also, organic teas are grown slower than conventional tea trees so that the harvest time is later and packing to be ready is slower since the gardens are relatively smaller sized.
Anyway, 2016 selection is ready and let me introduce them.
These are not yet JAS certified but in the process of evaluation by JAS Organic.
So, let me call them "Export tea" until they are certified. They are grown in 1 single farm and crop amount is very limited.
