Japan uses LED lighting to cultivate tea harvested ten times a year [Full Text]

Usually, tea can be harvested three times a year. If LED lighting continues for 24 hours, the cultivation rate will be 6 times that of the original, and tea can be harvested 10 times a year.


Japan uses LED lighting to cultivate tea 10 times a year

According to a report by Japan’s “Yomiuri Shimbun” on April 26, the “Takada Noda” tea processing plant in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, began to use red and green LED lights indoors to conduct pesticide-free cultivation of tea seedlings. This new cultivation method not only has a simple operation but also produces a safe and nutritious tea.

According to reports, the tea grown in this factory has been booked with the coffee shop operated by the company as an ingredient in tempura and other tea dishes. The company's fifth-generation general manager Noguchi Noguchi said: "If the new tea recipes can be loved by everyone, it would be nice."

In the company's 10 square meters "plant workshop", filled with the purple light emitted by LED bulbs. In order to make photosynthesis work better, the "plant workshop" is studying the color of light. After the staff replaced the lighting equipment with fluorescent lamps, bright yellow-green tea leaves on the seedbeds came into view.

LED lighting 24 hours a day, so that the room temperature has remained at 22-23 degrees Celsius. Since it is cultivated indoors, there is no need to worry about bacteria and insect pests, so pesticides are not used in the breeding process. In addition, the water and nutrients needed for tea leaves come from the automatic spraying device under the seedbed.

The company’s Noguchi’s general manager began considering the edible qualities of tea and tea roots about two and a half years ago. Since April last year, Mr. Noguchi has repeatedly reviewed tea cultivation methods and menus.

This method of cultivation is not affected by several changes. The harvested tea can provide raw materials for making tea dishes throughout the year. In addition, with regard to the idea that “tea leaves can sustain tea leaves rich in catechins and vitamins if they sustain photosynthesis for 24 hours,” researchers are also collecting data that can prove this idea.

In recent years, due to the promotion of agricultural automation, the production of agricultural products does not require much effort. As a result, the aging of farmers will be realized. Noguchi general manager said: "Although the use of tea varies, we hope to propose a constructive tea production plan.

Japan's western Ibaraki Prefecture is rich in wolfberry tea. However, due to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the output of wolfberry tea produced in 2011 was limited. Even after 2 years in 2012, the output and sales volume of wolfberry tea was only 60% of that in 2010. This shows that the accident of the Japanese nuclear power plant set off a headwind in the tea industry.

It is reported that soon after the season of picking tea, the Noguchi general manager said that he would do his best to make tea regain people's love.
