Tales of the Tea Trade : Yuta Nagatani
This is Yuta’s story. We hope you enjoy reading and that it will bring you even closer to the tea as you sip :-
– Who am I : I am Yuta Nagatani, 7th generation of my Tea Factory. We have been running a family tea company since the end of the Edo era in Ujitawara,the birthplace of Japanese green tea.
– Our company is really small : Grandfather,father,mother,mothers brother,2 part timers and myself. I grew up watching my family working in the factory and fields.
I often helped them especially during the new tea season after school and learned a lot about tea.Then,I was falling in love with tea. So I asked my father”I will do my best, so I would like to take over your company”.
– Looking to the future / our hopes : In the domestic market the demand for Japanese green tea is decreasing little by little except for Matcha for sweet stuff . Most young people don’t even have Kyusu andof course they dont know how to brew tea. They think plastic bottle tea is “TEA ” . This is the problem and I would like them to understand that good tea is really delicious.
– Overseas : Japanese tea is one of the best cultures that we are proud of, so I just would like to make good tea and make people happy.
– What is my favourite tea? My favourite tea is Gyokuro. It takes time and it’s a bit difficult to brew Gyokuro but Umami and sweetness is just amazing. I believe Nothing could substitute for Gyokuro!
– My message to the people who are drinking our tea : We are doing our best to make good tea, so I will be glad if you love it!
