Aroma of various Tea came and I was healed 🤤💕 just by visiting the site When I explained that a single Tea leaf can make green tea→ oolong tea, → black tea, the children reacted with astonishment 😳 💮💮💮, saying, "What~~~!?" (2) When I Visiting the site of the factory, I heard that it was roasted at 200~300 degrees Celsius with a machine, so it was fun 🤩 to try it for children 🤣 who were scared, saying, "Isn't it hot!?" I was very interested in the Tea leaves, which are roasted and turn into a nice Aroma, and I learned 😊 about the manufacturing process of kama-roasted tea while exchanging impressions such as "I like the smell!" and "But it's tiring~💦" (3) Types of tea utensils, how to use them, tips for brewing delicious Tea at the temperature of the water to be brewed, etc. Tasting 🍵✨ the tea by actually brewing it yourself while learning various things It smells like corn soup! There is a child who says, eh!? I thought so, but it is said that kamaricha often tastes similar to corn, and I 😮💡 am always 👏 surprised by the sensibilities of children We compared four types of Tea and had a tasting where they had to guess which one of them was roasted tea, oolong tea, roasted tea, or black tea, but the children 🤣 struggled to be confused by the colors and Aroma they usually knew Did you know? Oolong tea from Taiwan and Gokase has a color 😏✏️ close to green tea instead of brown At the end of the session, we asked the producers sharp questions in the question corner and summarized ✍️💫 what they had learned I hope that the children who have been touched by the charm of Gokase's kama-roasted tea and the thoughts of the producers will take 😌 pride in the Local Specialty Products and weave the future of Gokase Towns ✨
