It took us a long time to realize what those fans were for. We saw them everywhere. Maybe I can make another trip back to Japan next year.

]]> Comment on Merchant Review: Obubu Tea by Obubu Staff :: Ian http://www.sabletower.com/tea/?p=110&cpage=1#comment-63 Obubu Staff :: Ian Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:29:46 +0000 http://www.sabletower.com/tea/?p=110#comment-63 Thanks for the review! Our mission (besides growing delicious tea leaves) is to "make farming fun" -- by getting customers to come visit us, and by putting out information about tea farming to raise consumer awareness of farmers. That being said, here's a little bit of farming info: If you visit Japanese tea fields, you will often see fans atop high poles dotting the tea field. It's very puzzling at first, but what it does is circulate the air above the field. Because cold air sinks, this can result in frost that damages the leaves--especially in the spring with new leaves. The fans blow rising warmer air down so that frost does not form. Very hi-tech. :) Photos here: http://www.obubutea.com/tea-farming/fans-in-the-field-how-to-prevent-frost/ Thanks everyone for your support of farmers! Thanks for the review!

I am in the process of starting my own tea blog, and was wondering was it that you where able to connect with Obubu , to get free samples. I've never had a sencha being that I am just getting into loose leaf tea, and want to kinda share my point of view of a beginner in tea through my blog. Thanks for the post I rather enjoyed it.
