Shizuoka Short cycling & Green Tea Farm Experience (2/2)

Hello, Welcome to my blog!

I am Hirokane at Local Travel partners.

Today I would like to intorduce our 

Shizuoka Short cycling & Green Tea Farm Experience.

(continued from my last blog post)

After viewing the green tea farm of the Moriuchi Tea Farm,
we visited their farm house.

This house was built more than 150 years ago.

The board reads:

Honyama Meicha / Moriuchi Tea Farm

Honyama is the brand name of tea around this area.

Meicha means refined tea

Let's go inside.

Moriuchi-San preparing our tasting experience with 4 kinds of tea.

There is also a traditional Japanese tatami room.

These nice 2 photos (below) are courtesy of Moriuchi-San.

As you can see one may really experience a relaxing moment there!

This farm has been welcoming many overseas travelers. 

They enjoyed viewing tea farms, tea picking outside, 

tea tasting and tea farming lecture inside.

We tasted 4 kinds of tea which are made from the same tea leaves.

Green Tea, Paochong Tea, Oolong Tea, Black Tea,

Have you ever experienced any of them?

This was my first tasting experience.

It was really amazing!

Each taste is quite different and all the tea are so delicious.

I can't believe these are made from the same tea leaves!

You can do the same with their "Tasting 4 kinds of Japanese green tea experience"
made from  different tea leaves.
(This is the most popular course with overseas travelers.) 

We enjoyed 4 kinds of tea and Japanese confectionary.

The green jelly cake one includes Wasabi!

Lecturing about tea farming and preparing the various kinds of tea.

We leaned about all the hard work to make such delicious tea.

We were offered delicious tea and had a wonderful time.

We stayed longer than we expected!

This is a room where the make and preserve tea cakes.

Moriuchi-San, 

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and delicious tea!

Now we are heading back to town on our bikes.

Going through  old Sengen street

Shizuoka Local food at an "Oden" shop.

This  Shizuoka Oden, a very popular local food!

Going through  Sumpu Castle park,

The statue of General  Ieyasu Tokugawa inside  Sumpu Castle Park

After visiting Sumpu Castle Park, we went back to JR Shizuoka Station.
