Abstract
 Four types of brewed tea are known in Japan: Awa-bancha, Goishi-cha, Ishizuchi-kurocha, and Batabata-cha in Tokushima, Kochi, Ehime, and Toyama prefectures, respectively. Some brewed teas are produced by fermentation using lactic acid bacteria that belong mainly to the genus Lactobacillus. However, in Kamigare district of Ibigawa Town, Gifu Prefecture, tea is cultivated using organic methods, although the first harvest tea shipment is limited and coarse tea leaves are discarded. Therefore, we isolated lactic acid bacteria from the same area and aimed at creating a novel brewed tea type in the Kamigare district using coarse tea leaves.
