First Green Tea Auction of The Year Held In Shizuoka

SHIZUOKA, JAPAN - APRIL 19: A woman demonstrates how to hand roll green tea leaves during the first auction of the season's new green tea leaves at Shizuoka Tea Auction on April 19, 2019 in Shizuoka, Japan. The season's first auction of Japanese green tea saw a record bid of 1.39 million Yen (9,500 GBP - 12,420 USD) for a kilogram of hand-rolled Sae Midori tea leaves. A cold spring has meant a smaller harvest for many farmers with only 1122 kilograms of tea sold, considerably lower than in previous years. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
