Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, will be holding its first tea-picking tour in the fall, in order to secure the "tea pickers" who will be responsible for harvesting the city's specialty Uji tea. The aim is for participants to practice on an actual tea plantation and become immediately effective when the new tea leaves arrive next spring. Participants are currently being recruited.
