Speedy Farm: Planting of tara yoh has been completed!

During the Warring States period 500 years ago, samurai warriors wrote letters on tara-yow leaves and sent them as letters.

In China, it is known as kuteisha (bitter-ding tea).
This is a health tea with a long history of being drunk in China, and is also known as “tea for reducing fat”, “beauty tea”, or “longevity tea” due to its high medicinal value. Its name comes from the words “bitter” and “twisted.” It is also called “one-leaf tea” because of the shape of its large, single leaf twisted into a long, thin stick.

Its bitterness makes it difficult to be eaten by insects. Those from China’s Hainan Island are considered the finest.
