Voicy collaboration | Kinoshita Hitoshi will tell you the truth today!

The broadcast, which began on December 2nd, quickly came to an end.
In this week's broadcast, rather than introducing our products, we will be introducing the experience you can have by visiting Osumi Tea Zen stores.

This is a story about the special experiences you can enjoy by visiting the shop, such as the "See you at the Tea Room" course where you can enjoy tea and sweets.

Just as there are wineries in wine-producing regions, Osumi Teanary was born from the desire to create a place in Kagoshima where people can gather to enjoy tea. We will promote tea from Osumi through various experiences related to tea.

One of these businesses is the creative tea restaurant "Chaon no Kura," where many people enjoy creative dishes made with tea.

We have created an animation that shows the realistic tea production process at Horiguchi Seicha in the Osumi region and gives a sense of the tea-producing area.

The theme for the third week is "Fragrant Tea?!" Have you ever heard of a tea incense burner?
This episode was recorded while enjoying the aroma of tea with a tea incense burner burning. Is it a little different from drinking tea? We suggested to Kinoshita how to enjoy tea with an incense burner.

"Osumi Tea's Recommended Tea Incense Burner"
"Tea leaves specially made for tea incense burners"
"TEAET Flavored Green Tea Osumi Yuzu"

A tea incense burner is a burner for heating tea leaves and enjoying their aroma. There is a tray on top of the burner to hold the tea leaves, and heat is applied from a candle at the bottom.

It takes a while for the candle flame to slowly warm the tea leaves and release the aroma. Meanwhile, the fragrant aroma of the tea leaves gently spreads throughout the room, creating a comfortable space.

1. Prepare the tea leaves. Place a light handful of your favorite tea leaves on the incense burner tray. At Osumi Chazen, we have special tea leaves available so you can enjoy the aroma even more. In addition, "TEAET Flavored Green Tea Osumi Yuzu," which contains yuzu, is a tea bag that can be drunk, but you can also enjoy the aroma.

2. Place the candle at the bottom of the incense burner and light it. The candle flame will gently warm the tea leaves.

3. Enjoy the aroma of the tea . After waiting a few minutes, the fragrant aroma of the tea leaves will begin to rise little by little. The nostalgic aroma of tea will fill the entire room, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

4. Cleaning up after use <br/> Extinguish the candle and remove the tea leaves from the saucer once they have cooled. It is a good idea to lightly wipe the saucer so that it is clean for next use.

We also spoke with Kinoshita about the white porcelain tea incense burner that is being developed with the Arita ware maker Keizangama as an original incense burner for Osumi Chazen.

The second week was themed on "edible tea," and we had the opportunity to taste Osumichazen's original sweets. We talked about products that were made in collaboration with local shops.

"Tea Field Cheesecake"
"Tea Field Scones"
"Craft Chocolate from Tea Fields"

From the three types of tea field series, we had Kinoshita try the most popular dessert at Osumi Tea Zen, the "Tea Field Cheesecake." This is your chance to try the unique taste of freshly ground brown rice tea , which is different from matcha cheesecake.

Since the first week was the first broadcast, we started with an introduction to Kagoshima Horiguchi Tea and then moved on to the theme of "drinking tea."

" KAKUHORI Deep Steamed Sencha Asatsuyu "
"Oolong black tea"
"Newly ground tea (arabiki tea)"

We were introduced to these three teas. This time, we will be selling these three teas in a special price 3-piece set exclusively on our online store.
