□Chiran’s Pride in Tea-Producing

The first essential for Chiran Farm is its rich soil. They aim to achieve safe and environment-friendly tea production, not depending on pesticides nor chemical fertilizers.
Chiran Farm specializes in utilizing organic nutrition such as sunlight, water, soil, and natural food-chain.
They apply byproducts of the human diet (i.e., rice peels, rice bran, oil waste, fish waste, bonito soup) to make them into fertilizer by fermenting the ingredients for 6-12 months, mixing them up with EM(*2)-bacteria and water.
By fertilizing the soil with bacteria, Chiran Farm can acquire its own biosystem surrounded by countless lives protecting their place to live.
