I received Hachijuhachiya fresh tea from Oguri Farm in Shizuoka. Enclosed was the following instruction: May 2nd is Hachijuhachiya. Eighty-eight nights marks the transition from spring to summer, and has long been considered an auspicious day. In addition, as it is called "Hachijuhachiya no farewell frost", the trip is stable without frost from around this time, and the tea at this time is the best. The new shoots of tea contain many ingredients that have been stored for more than one winter. The fresh green tea has a sweet taste and a gentle scent of fresh greenery, like the wind in May. . . The Japanese culture of enjoying the sprouts and new leaves in this way is really wonderful. You can taste, smell, and see when the seasons change. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . It's been a quiet and quiet day since yesterday's bustle. Dimbura will open again for summer from tomorrow...
