Making the Persimmon Leaf Tea

Hello, how are you?

Do you know persimmon leaf tea?

I've never known that before I had it here.
It is dark color and a little bit sweet.
It's a good flavor! ( Actually it has a lot of Vitamin C.)

This tea is made from persimmon tree in Sanae's garden!
She makes tea by herself.
She makes everything...wow!!

I'd like to introduce about the persimmon tree and some trees in her garden:)


This is a persimmon tree. Most of leaves have already fell down.
I picked up these leaves and washed them one by one.
I could wash properly because leaves were strong.
And then, I wiped them one by one, and put in baskets for the drying.
It took a long time.



These leaves are very pretty!
I've never notice that persimmon leaves are so beautiful,
even though there is a persimmon tree in my parents' garden.
I want to try to make the tea next autumn in Japan.

There are many trees which have fruits.


This is an orange tree.
Oranges are huge!
That looks really heavy.


This is a lemon tree.
It's a bright yellow, very fresh!


This is an avocado tree.
There are some avocados.
Viva Santa Monica!!























Seed sell persimmon leaf tea only in the holiday term.
It's lovely!!

I appreciate the blessings of nature.
I hope you enjoy the tastes of the season.
