Japanese Tea Farmer Delivers Hysterical Greeting

Aloha all, I just posted a funny video and story about Akihiro “Akky” Kita from Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantations on Buzzfeed. Some of you may have been lucky enough to meet him before, but I think everyone gets a kick out of this video: http://www.buzzfeed.com/elysemp/japanese-tea-farmer-delivers-hysterical-greeting-ckdc

LOL, that’s awesome! More funny is I had some Obubu tea yesterday. Nice to know my tea has been danced with, hahhaaha!

Have you tried any of their 2013 teas?

Thanks for sharing! I bought a great sampler from Obubu Tea last year, and each sample was a wonderful example of carefully grown and processed Japanese tea. Ever since, I have been subscribed to their channel on YouTube, which can be educational — but mostly just fun to watch. Their Sencha of the Spring Sun is one fine tea, and worth every penny… :)

Thanks for sharing, I love their teas too and what they are doing to introduce direct commerce to other tea growing regions in Japan. More tea for us to enjoy!
