[What is Covered Tea?] Covered tea is tea grown in a shade net that blocks strong sunlight for a few days before the new tea leaves are picked. This is a cultivation method that is still not very common, even in Shizuoka, a tea-producing region.
[Arahataen's Deep-Steamed Tea] Deep-steaming method that makes the most of high-quality tea leaves: Arahataen's tea is "deep-steamed tea" made using the deep-steaming method, which steams the tea leaves three to four times longer than regular sencha.

[Tea from the Makinohara Plateau] The Makinohara Plateau receives long hours of sunlight, which allows thick, nutritious tea leaves to grow. By steaming these tea leaves for a long time, the tannin (bitterness) content is reduced and the amino acid theanine (sweetness) is increased, resulting in a mellow tea. The tea leaves are fine, but they are characterized by their beautiful deep green color, mellow sweetness and deep richness.
[Commitment to Soil] At Arahataen, we believe that "delicious tea can only be made from thick, dark green tea leaves picked from powerful tea plants," and we are committed to cultivating tea, starting with soil preparation.

[Natural Reduction Farming Method: Rice Husk Compost] Every autumn, rice husks, rice bran, rapeseed meal, etc. are fermented with soil-activating microorganisms to create rice husk compost. This rice husk compost, which is rich in delicious ingredients, is spread evenly over a large field, which increases the number of microorganisms in the soil, enriches the soil, and increases its fertility. This is a natural reduction farming method.

Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System: Shizuoka's Chagusaba Farming: Chagusaba is a semi-natural grassland where grasses such as bamboo grass and silver grass are harvested to be added to tea fields as organic matter. It is a common sight in Shizuoka Prefecture. The farming method of spreading grass harvested from Chagusaba on tea fields produces higher quality tea. This practice allows for symbiosis with living things without disrupting the natural system. *Shizuoka's Chagusaba Farming was recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on May 30, 2013.
