10/3 (Thu) G class ~ Kama-roasted tea experience 🍵 at Miyazaki Tea House ~

Today, third-grade students from four elementary schools in Gokase In the town gathered at Miyazaki Chabo for a G class ✍️💡... So, I was 👀✨ allowed to Visiting the site

I was able 👏👏👏 to do a little bit of tea picking experience, which I had thought about quitting due to light rain, because I recovered enough to have a sunny period with the power of elementary school students

While chanting "One core and two leaves!", everyone was happily hand-picking 🌿 Tea leaves

After that, the participants were divided into three groups: (1) Visiting the site of the factory, (2) Roasting of kettles, and (3) Tasting ✍️✨

(1) There are many opportunities to see the inside of the factory for the first time! 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 ✨
