市場での狭山茶の生産量は僅か2%ほどで、狭山茶の希少価値の高さが分かります。
また産地としては北限に位置しており、他の産地が年3〜5回収穫するのに対し、狭山茶は1〜2回しか収穫しません(近年は3回収穫する茶園もあります)。
The production of Sayama tea in the market is only about 2%, which shows the high scarcity value of Sayama tea.
In addition, Sayama tea is located in the northern limit as a production area, and while other production areas harvest 3 to 5 times in a year, Sayama tea harvests only 1 to 2 times (in recent years, some tea gardens harvest 3 times).
