沖縄生まれ 琉球紅茶の物語
The Story of Okinawa Tea fly toward the world
沖縄產 琉球紅茶的故事
Okinawa can produce black tea? When I saw it in TV...a big question mark appeared on my mind...it all started from the dream of Ms. Uchita who is crazy about drinking tea and also have a talent of tea making...she wanted Japan can have its own Black Tea!
Ms. Uchita found Okinawa is on the same latitude of a lot Tea produce countries...it has good condition for cultivating black tea leaves...so she invested 2 millions in a new farm but fail...due to lack of farming experience and soil of the farm was not perfect...she did not give up because her daughter's encouragement.
So she studied real hard about the soil...finally she found Kinchou, Okinawa, has perfect soil for tea leaves growing...in late ten year...working hard to co-operate with the farmers...fighting against the typhoon and the weather...tasting N times to make perfect tea proportion...Ms. Uchita is successfully introduce the Okinawa Black Tea around Japan...now the Okinawa Black tea is flying toward the world, starting in Italy!
The story of Ms. Uchita and the farmers is touched me a lot...achieve the dreams will take a lot time and effort! Just found that the tea can find in some Muji shop around Japan...or you can shop on line...but may need to wait cos some of the tea are out of stock quickly....are you working hard and flying to your dream?
在電視上看到沖縄產紅茶，一個大問號？
琉球紅茶的出產全因為，紅茶發燒友並有著超敏銳的味覺的，內田女士的夢想 ﹣ 日本能有自家產的紅茶。
內田女士無意中發現沖縄同很多紅茶出產國的緯度一樣，是理想的地方培植紅茶葉。她投資了2千萬在新農地上，但因缺乏農業經驗及這農地的土壤不理想，最後全軍覆沒。但因女兒的鼓勵，她繼續尋找最好的培植土地，最後她在金武町(沖縄)找到了！
過去十年，努力與農家協調因沒有他們什麼也作不出，又要與天氣台風對抗，更要試上N杯的茶去調出最好紅茶比例，內田的努力沒有白費，琉球紅茶已進入日本人的家中，在全國部份無印良品有賣，上線在有但因產量不多又受歡迎，經常缺貨。
現在由意大利作首站，琉球紅茶正式飛向世界。
夢想成真，真需很多努力！ 你在盡力飛向夢想了嗎？
