夏も近づく八十八夜
Tea picking, known as chatsumi in Japan, is a traditional early-summer practice that takes place around the “88th night” after the beginning of spring. During this season, young tea leaves are carefully hand-picked to produce high-quality green tea.
Unlike black tea, which is fully oxidized to develop its rich aroma and dark color, Japanese green tea is minimally processed. The freshly picked leaves are quickly steamed to prevent oxidation, preserving their bright green color and fresh, grassy flavor.
Because of this difference in processing, tea picking in Japan emphasizes timing, delicacy, and freshness. The act of harvesting the tender new leaves is not only an agricultural task but also a seasonal cultural scene, symbolizing the arrival of early summer in the Japanese countryside.
