Today I would like to talk about YUSANDO's agricultural welfare collaboration efforts. We are a small tea farming company that mainly produces tea in Nara, but also in Kyoto and the surrounding areas. Since we established the company in 2016, we have been producing and selling tea using natural cultivation without fertilizers or pesticides, through trial and error. It is a small company started by myself and my sister. From the beginning to the fifth year, our sales increased steadily and we were always busy. From the beginning, I was in charge of the fields, and my sister was in charge of bagging and shipping the tea. We had outsourced the bagging before, but it was a big burden to keep bagging so many teas by myself, so we were contacted by Green Thumb, a welfare facility in Katano City, and we started our agricultural welfare collaboration efforts by outsourcing the bagging to the welfare facility.

Initially, my sister went to the welfare facility to teach them how to pack the bags. Eventually, she began coming in once a week as a Green Thumb staff member. By having us, who are clients, also serve as staff at the facility, communication between staff became smoother, and we ourselves had more opportunities to come into contact with the users, which gave us an opportunity to think about how each user can grow and what kind of work we could do together.

Once they had mastered bagging to a certain extent, we next entrusted them with weeding in the fields. During the busy farming season from May to November, we have the Green Thumb members come in three mornings a week to help with light farm work. At first they were clumsy at weeding the tea fields, but as they did it more and more, they became faster and more careful. We mainly have them weed between the tea rows, but we ask the members who are good at weeding to operate the brush cutter and cut the surrounding areas. We have the young, energetic members help us with the tea harvesting work, so we are trying to increase what they can do.

In 2021, my sister gave birth, so I started working at Green Thumb once a week. It was my first time going to a welfare facility, and I was nervous at first. After a few visits, I got to know the members better and began to understand their backgrounds and what they were thinking. I decided to change my thinking to create work that I could ask them to do, with the aim of raising the level of what everyone can do a little and making it acceptable in society, rather than saying that we can't do it just because we are a welfare facility.

Han pasado 6 años desde que empezamos a hacer matcha. Hemos seguido haciendo matcha sin fertilizantes ni pesticidas.

Nuestro objetivo es hacer té que sea diferente del cultivo de hojas de té para matcha, que se usa comúnmente para crecer con una gran cantidad de fertilizante.

Poco a poco mientras le dicen que si hace eso, morirá. Las hojas de té se están volviendo más salvajes. Sin embargo, el sabor de la naturaleza es profundo y delicioso.

Mientras pienso en la historia, creo que era este tipo de té lo que amaban los antiguos maestros del té.

Arrancamos la hierba en la plantación de té de otoño para continuar haciendo matcha mediante cultivo natural.

Realizamos un taller en línea sobre JAS orgánico en la oficina de YUSANDO.

El Sr. Idono, que es un maestro en el procesamiento de sencha, y Sasha, una rusa a la que le encanta el té de cultivo natural.

Tomamos el curso cuidadosamente mientras superponíamos la historia del té japonés después de la guerra con la historia del Sr. Takeshi, quien tiene una carrera de 60 años en la elaboración del té.

Cultivo convencional, cultivo ecológico, cultivo natural.

Cada persona quiere una forma diferente de té, por lo que cada persona tiene su propia forma de pensar y método. Ojalá pudiéramos aprender unos de otros y hacer el té agrícola natural definitivo.

Té en bolsita que utiliza té en polvo y mal aspecto. Generalmente se considera de mala calidad en comparación con el té de arrecife.

Con el fin de expresar nuestro deseo de que muchas personas beban té que sea bueno para la mente y el cuerpo, prestamos la máxima atención a los ingredientes y contenido de la bolsita de té.

La bolsita de té está hecha de papel sin blanquear (solo té verde tostado y bancha) para evitar que salgan microplásticos. Los contenidos también se ajustan para que las hojas de té, que son las mismas que las hojas de té, se trituren un poco suavemente y se hiervan en una tetera.

No sólo se utilizan hojas de té, sino sólo té cultivado mediante el método de agricultura natural Hideaki, libre de fertilizantes y pesticidas. Es un té de paquete de té que se puede decir que es seguro para cualquier persona, independientemente de su edad o sexo.
