Nengancha translates to \u003cem\u003edreamed-of, desired\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003ewished-for\u003c\/em\u003e tea, a fitting name for the quietly reinvigorating work Aleš and Sachi are doing in an area where tea production has tended to close rather than open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe symbol of the garden is the Japanese giant salamander — one of the largest amphibians in the world — which can be found in the river that flows through the village and gives it its name: Higashishirakawa, or Eastern White River. Aleš and Sachi use no chemicals in production, relying solely on the area's exceptional growing conditions: heavy mists, high rainfall, and large temperature differences between day and night. Their plantations are serene places, surrounded by forests, rivers and ponds nestled between mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"rami tea","offers":[{"title":"Do. 20.8.2026  18-20h","offer_id":53867343446359,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fr. 21.8.2026  18-20h","offer_id":53867343479127,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/1873\/9543\/files\/Nengancha_rami_tea-4.jpg?v=1778061358","url":"https:\/\/rami-tea.com\/products\/taste-the-fresh-harvest","provider":"rami tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
