Fans for tea fields
Posted in Country : Japan, Tea plant by François-Xavier Delmas | Tags : Country : Japan, Shizuoka, tea field, tea fields, Tea plant, tea plants, tea tree, tea trees
Some sights in the tea fields in Japan are strange. The green rows of tea trees are covered with fans stuck up on top of numerous posts and their metal spikes give contrast to the soft aspects of spring. What can they actually be for? Give a little breeze when the sun is too hot? Certainly not! The fans will fully play their part in the middle of winter. They will be switched on in order to give the atmosphere a stir and prevent the layers of cold air to stay above the trees. These layers of cold air could indeed damage the small trees or slow down their growth.

Why do they have electric fans in tea fields in japan?

sourceShizuoka is known for many things in Japan, most of all Mount Fuji, but followed closely by green tea! The mountainous and wet environment makes it a perfect place for growing delicious tea… and the tea fields look pretty good as you drive by on the highway or ride by on the train or shinkansen.
Tea from Kagoshima Prefecture and Mie Prefecture is also highly regarded.
The picture you see below is of tea fields on tea plantations near the highway in Shizuoka. Ito En, a company that produces over 20% of the tea in Japan is located a bit up the highway from these two fields so they may in some way be affiliated.
Now for the good stuff!
NOTE the fans that are spread out through the fields… can you guess what they are for?
The fans push warm air back down to the plants to prevent frost and try to keep the temperatures of all the tea bushes as consistent as possible. Apparently the tea’s flavor is affected if the bushes frost over or if the ground they are in gets too cold.

Green tea health
The advantages of drinking green tea:
- Green tea helps to prevent cancer. Mortality rates from cancer are low in Japan and especially low in Shizuoka where the consumption of green tea is highest. The main component of green tea is catechins which have a proven effect on the reduction of cancer rates.
- Green tea restricts the increase of blood cholesterol. Cholesterol causes a range of diseases in adults. The catechins in green tea restrict the build up of blood cholestrol.
- Green tea controls high blood pressure. Green tea is known to help control blood pressure, catechins impede the action of chemicals that are known to effect cause blood pressure.
- Green tea lowers the blood sugar level. Green tea has the capability of lowering blood sugar levels. The catechins and polysaccharides in green tea have been shown to play a key role in this reduction, this has helped in the treatment of diabetes.
- Green tea can help to suppress ageing. Powerful antioxidising agents such as vitamin E and vitamin C restrain the ageing process, green tea contains both these vitamins. The main active ingredient of green tea, catechin, is thought to be a far stronger antioxidant than the two vitamins, adding to the strong weight of evidence that suggests green tea makes you look younger.
- Green tea refreshes the body. Green tea contains caffeine which has a strong stimulating effect. Green tea has an advantage over coffee because the green tea caffeine combines with catechin to produce a rather milder, more natural, effect.
- Green tea deters food poisoning. Green tea has the ability to kill certain bacteria. For instance, it's strong sterilizing effect on bacteria is used in the treatment of diarrhea.
Green tea health benefits
Green tea is considered as one of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world. Although there are no definite records about when and how green tea was first brought to Japan, it is believed that Buddhist priests from China and India, and Japanese envoys dispatched to China brought green tea to Japan in the 8th century.
The first attempt of green tea cultivation in Shizuoka dates back to the late 19th century when 200 samurais of the Tokugawa shogunate, who were clan headed by Kageki Chujo, began to cultivate green tea on the Makinohara plateau; green tea cultivation has been well established in Shizuoka since then.
Today, green tea is mainly grown on plateaus, sloping fields, and basins by large rivers in Shizuoka prefecture except in Izu peninsula.

Okinawa Prefectural Government produces new Okinawan mangoes
The Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department registered trademarks of new Okinawan mangoes, called natsukobeni(left) and tilala.
July 13, 2012 Ryukyu Shimpo
On July 12, the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department (AFFD) of the Okinawa Prefectural Government (OPG) announced two new varieties of Okinawan mango called natsukobeni and tilala. They are the first mangoes to be brought from the United States and then developed in Japan. The OPG registered both trademarks in June and will increase production volume and work to strengthen the brand power of Okinawan mangoes. The production volumes for this term are expected to be 1680 kilograms (3704 pounds) for natsukobeni and 440 kilograms (970 pounds) for tilala.
The difference between the two varieties of mangoes is that natsukobeni has round fruit and is very sweet and tilala has an oval-shaped fruit and a sweet-sour taste. The harvest season is from late July to early September, which is between the end of harvest time for the Irwin variety and the beginning of the picking season for Keitt, other mangoes grown in Okinawa. The OPG expects that the new varieties will lengthen the harvest season and increase the total production volume of Okinawan mangoes.
The new varieties are lipense for natsukobeni and Valencia pride for tilala.
The AFFD has grown 18 varieties of mangoes from cuttings sent by the United States Department of Agriculture in 2003. They selected these two varieties because of their suitability to the environment in Okinawa, and have bred them on a trial basis at Nakijin and in Miyako-jima since 2007. Targeting more affluent people and repeat customers, this year it will start to sell the mangoes.
The production volume in five years time is expected to be 100 tons for natsukobeni, and 71 tons for tilala. Takeshi Chinen, the head of AFFD said, “We aim to produce these mangoes as an original Okinawan brand and hope that this will help to increase farmer’s income. We hope that areas producing mangoes will develop in the future.”

All the nutrition is absorbed until the last minute of natural fall, Miyako born fully-ripened fruit画��供：ＪＡ����Mangoes that grow in Okinawa, Miyazaki, and most part of Japan are Irwin apple mangoes. The fruit is oval shaped weighing around 400g to 500g, covered with red peel. The orange colored fruit has perfect balance of sour and sweetness and melts in your mouth. Shipping time is around June to August. Miyako Island mangos are very popular in Okinawa, the full ripe mango filled with nutrition is only picked after it has naturally fallen. The mango smells kind of like an apple, with sweet juice that drips when you cut it and is it also high in fiber. The giant and rare Keitt mangos are also grown in Okinawa. It's still green even when it is ripe with a very sweet taste.
