A big turnaround: Tea farmers in Ureshino, Saga, stop selling tea for “low profit, high volume” Is cheap really a good thing? In 2017, tea farmers in Ureshino, Saga Prefecture, started a tourist program to serve their specialty “Ureshino tea” for 5,000 yen per cup. Why did they charge such a high price for tea that was once offered for free by local restaurants and hotels? Freelance writer Fushimi interviewed the tea farmers to find out their aims.
When a garden stone maker was having trouble selling a stone, an acquaintance came and added two zeros to it. Then it sold right away. “Fools make money by cheating,” he said, laughing as he left. This was written on a thread about Beaujolais Nouveau lol
This is a misleading headline created by the writer. There are a lot of low-quality writers like this these days. Really high-quality tea, brewed using the correct procedure, is different from the tea we drink every day. Saying it’s practically free is a really strange way to write. However, I think the number of people who have actually tried good tea is definitely decreasing. Because everyone is only drinking convenient bottled tea or powdered/packaged tea.
>>12 The quality of affordable bottled tea is insanely high. The number of decaffeinated teas that taste bad has increased. I don’t think there are many people who make bottled tea at home on a regular basis. Well, those who drink it regularly tend to settle for something easy to drink like pu-erh tea.
Sure, it may be good for business, but treating this kind of rip-off as an uplifting story makes me feel like Japanese people have deteriorated. Is it okay to just make money?
It reminded me of the high-end bread that was in the news a while back lol. They started selling plain sweet bread under the name high-end bread, fooled idiots and it became a fad lol
Toyota and other companies use the same sales model of lining up like ramen shops and donut stores, so for some reason, with a rip-off sales company like Kinto, the car is delivered right away lol
