Taste of Tea
I haven't been able to get this song out of my mind for the past few weeks. Every day in the field I find myself humming it.
And before anyone asks - No. The persimmon are not ready to start drying yet, but they are getting bigger which made me think of these photos from last year. Tomoe hung them out to dry, but the climate here is so humid that they just got moldy and we ended up throwing them into the field. The only thing we got from the persimmon tree last year were leaves to make tea.

Funny - I used to have that song on repeat.

A cute song, indeed. Light ska of sorts.

beautiful photos! How does one make tea out of the leaves? I am fascinated with kaki trees. Do you know in french they call it kaki too : ).

I'm from Brazil and here we call this fruit "caqui" and pronounce like Kaki too. But we don't use to dry them.
I loved the film Cha no aji and I wanted to know what the song tells... can you help me?
Well I've linked your pictures of "ugly ducks" at my blog. Wonderful photos! Thanks!
