Schoolkids picking tea
The newspaper Mainichi Shinbun recently ran a story [in Japanese only] about a group of 60 middle-school students in Yame, Fukuoka, who went on a tea-picking field trip as part of a "comprehensive learning" class.
(In addition to tea, Yame is also known for its hina doll festival.)
Harvest time in Aso, where our tea hails from, starts in mid-May—later than in Yame because of Aso's higher elevation.

No, this photo was taken in Yame City, on the island of Kyushu, Japan. It's a couple hours from Aso City, which is where Mellow Monk Green Tea is grown.
