Experience contentExperience content

This is a tea-dyeing experience where you can create an original sacoche dyed with Kurume kasuri using pesticide-free Yame tea. Please experience the charm of Yame tea that goes beyond just tasting.

<Recommended Points>
・A collaboration of Kurume Kasuri and Yame Tea, which are designated as Important Intangible Cultural Property
・Versatile traditional craftsman
・Enjoying a dialogue with Mr. Hiromu Moulinette

<Experience Flow>
① Tie the Kurume Kasuri sacoche with a rubber band and decide on the pattern you want to apply.
② Use pesticide-free tea grown in the private farm of Mr. Mori to create the dye,
and immerse the sacoche in it.
③ A chemical reaction occurs with the tea components using hydrogen peroxide solution, resulting in color.
④ Finally, wring it out well and dry it in the sun to complete.
The created work can be taken home.

During the dyeing and sun-drying processes, those who requested the option to compare teas will enjoy pesticide-free tea.
