Commitments of Kawabata Tea Farm
"Making tea that makes your body happy "
"Leave an environment where the next generation can make tea in the same way."
Do not use chemical pesticides or fertilizers
We have not used chemically synthesized pesticides or fertilizers for about 50 years, aiming for safe and secure tea for tea makers and drinkers.
At the beginning of such cultivation, my great-grandfather got sick due to pesticides, and agriculture that does not consider the health of the creator will not continue. Because I thought. I think that organic farming is the most ideal cultivation for making healthy tea, and I work every day.
Improve not only the tea plantation but also the surrounding environment
The tea plantation is a part of nature. Our fields are surrounded by forests, and we believe that growing a healthy forest and creating a healthy tea plantation are linked.
A healthy forest creates a healthy river, which flows into the sea and returns to the forest as rain, creating a cycle of creating abundant tea fields. For this reason, we are also focusing on creating the surrounding environment by thinning forests and maintaining bamboo grove.
The proof of deliciousness
From many customers
Almost 100% of our tea customers are repeat customers. Many of them have been purchasing for over 40 years. In particular, we receive comments such as "good aroma," "taste that you can continue to drink every day," and "sweetness." We will continue to aim for better tea making without changing the important things that we have continued for a long time.
筍へのこだわり
筍の味は土地の力や栽培方法だけでなくその鮮度がとても大切です。
私たちは、鮮度を極限まで落とさずお届けするために、筍と地下の根が繋がっている部分まで掘り出し、小さなハサミで切り取ることで根の断面積を最小限にし、筍が内部で割れないように丁寧に掘り出しています。
また、1本ずつ鮮度保持袋に入れて発送しておりますので、市場のものとは鮮度が全く異なります。
また、有機物や微生物の力を借りて地表面で発酵させることにより、地温を上げることで、早ければ12月から筍を掘り始めることができます。
お茶へのこだわり
かわばた園の原点はお茶です。
明治の終わり頃から始めたお茶の栽培の歴史は130年を超え、長い間栽培を続けてきました。
1972年からは農薬や化学肥料を使用しない栽培を始め、半世紀以上も続けてきました。
栽培は全て有機肥料を使用し、ミネラル、堆肥を中心とした管理を行っており、ほんのりと甘く、香り高いお茶になっております。
Tea items, plums and bamboo shoots
現在、育成中！ 2024年夏より出荷予定です。 品種：バナーネ、ザ・キング、サマーレッド 収穫時期：7月中旬〜10月下旬 農薬や化学肥料を一切使用せず栽培したイチジクです。
イチジクへのこだわり
2023年より栽培を開始し、2024年から出荷予定。
程よい酸味の「サマーレッド」、平均糖度20度を超える「バナーネ」、7月から収穫できる「ザ・キング」を予定しています。
化学的に合成された農薬や肥料は使用せず、しっかり完熟してから収穫をすることで、スーパーなどでは買うことができない、最高に美味しいイチジクをお届けしようと思っています。
Greetings from the owner
Hello! I'm Hiroyuki Sato from Kawaba tae farm. After graduating from university, I got a job at a manufacturer in Aichi prefecture, and since 2018 I have been working in the family tea business.
At first, I got a job in the steel industry thinking "I want to send Japan's amazing manufacturing to the world!", But when I was feeling the weakness of my parents' physical strength, I thought "Tea is also Japan's amazing manufacturing!" I jumped into the agricultural industry.
My goal is to make tea with high nutritional value and leave an environment where the next generation can farm in the same way. I am convinced that organic farming is the ideal way to make tea, rather than relying on pesticides and chemical fertilizers to make such tea.
In addition to the experience of making tea that we have continued since our grandfather and father's generation, we will make the best tea by incorporating the latest scientific management.
