Tea plucking machine - Chatsumiki

Japanese: 茶摘機 - ちゃつみき
Tea plucking machine - Chatsumiki
A machine used to pick young tea leaves from grown plants. There are three plucking methods: hand picking, hand scissors picking, and power picking using a powered picking machine. Hand picking is still practiced in some tea-producing areas where quality is a particular requirement, such as gyokuro and high-quality sencha, but scissors picking or power picking are more common. When hand picking, the leaves can be selected and harvested, but with scissors picking and power picking, most of the growing part at the tip of the branch is picked. Tea picking scissors were invented in Shizuoka Prefecture around 1892, and came into practical use around 1921.

生育したチャの若葉を摘み採る機械。摘採り法には,手摘み,手ばさみ摘みと動力摘採り機を使った動力摘みがある。玉露や高級煎茶のようにとくに品質を要求される茶葉の産地ではまだ一部で手摘みが行われているが,はさみ摘みか動力摘みが一般的である。手摘みをする場合は摘み採るべき茶葉を選択して収穫できるが,はさみ摘みおよび動力摘みでは枝先の生長部分の大半を摘み採ることになる。茶摘みばさみは1892年ころ静岡県で考案され,1921年ころから実用化された。
