Farm Introduction
\n
\n
According to Hiroki Murakami, who will become the farm's 4th generation master, the family doesn't know exactly when they started farming tea, though his great-grandfather was the one who built their first processing factory in the late 19th century.
\n
Based in the Yoshiwara district, a mountainous region famous for its sea of clouds within the municipality of Shizuoka City, the family produces about 2 tons of tea altogether per year (first and second flushes).
\n
Their leaves are mostly processed as a near-fukamushi (deep steamed), a steaming technique that creates a tea that has fukashimicha's deep, opaque green color and sweetness, but while also retaining much of the leaf's shape.
\nProduction capacity: About 1300 kg per year. The family only harvests the spring first flush harvest.

"},{"id":6677770240105,"title":"#0752.S5 Mandara Green Tea Sampler Set by Kadode Ooigawa, Shizuoka - 4 steaming levels vs 4 green-roasting levels. (16 tea bags)","handle":"mandara-green-tea-by-kadode-ooigawa","description":"
The set includes 16 different tea bags with tea of 4 different steaming levels vs 4 different green roasting levels.
\n
Green roasting is a post-production refinement heating process that reduces the moisture in dry, unrefined leaf from 5-6% to 1-2%. Stronger roasts create a toastier flavor.
\n
Steaming the leaves is the first step in the processing of Japanese green tea and can range from 20 seconds to 90 seconds (the degree of steaming also affected by the size of the leaf as well). The lighter that a leaf is steamed, the more it retains its shape producing a translucent, yellowish tea that is light and delicate. A longer steaming breaks up the leaf more, producing a sweeter, stronger bodied, opaque green tea.
\n
Taste the range of flavors from this amazing set, and study how the leaf is affected by these two key production steps.
\n
Steeping
\n
The creators of the set provides a chart with English indicating the steaming levels vs green roasting levels on the top and right sides. On the left side it indicates steeping temperature and on the bottom it indicates steeping time.
\n
Our recommendation however is to use the exact same steeping parameters on all teas: 70C/160F degrees, for 90 seconds, 200 ml of water.

In November 2020, a new tea-themed amusement park opened in conjunction with the launch of a new train station on the Ooigawa Train Line in Shimada, Shizuoka. The facility, owned by Shimada City, was created in conjunction with local businesses including several tea producers (farming coops and factories) who came together to create the Mandara Green Tea set.

The set includes 16 different tea bags with tea of 4 different steaming levels vs 4 different green roasting levels.
\n
Green roasting is a post-production refinement heating process that reduces the moisture in dry, unrefined leaf from 5-6% to 1-2%. Stronger roasts create a toastier flavor.
\n
Steaming the leaves is the first step in the processing of Japanese green tea and can range from 20 seconds to 90 seconds (the degree of steaming also affected by the size of the leaf as well). The lighter that a leaf is steamed, the more it retains its shape producing a translucent, yellowish tea that is light and delicate. A longer steaming breaks up the leaf more, producing a sweeter, stronger bodied, opaque green tea.
\n
Taste the range of flavors from this amazing set, and study how the leaf is affected by these two key production steps.
\n
Steeping
\n
The creators of the set provides a chart with English indicating the steaming levels vs green roasting levels on the top and right sides. On the left side it indicates steeping temperature and on the bottom it indicates steeping time.
\n
Our recommendation however is to use the exact same steeping parameters on all teas: 70C/160F degrees, for 90 seconds, 200 ml of water.

Product Info \n
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green Tea
\n
\nContents: 16 different tea bags, 4 grams each. As a bonus, 2 x 20g random spring green tea samples from Yunomi.life are also included. Yunomi.life has provided the box.
In November 2020, a new tea-themed amusement park opened in conjunction with the launch of a new train station on the Ooigawa Train Line in Shimada, Shizuoka. The facility, owned by Shimada City, was created in conjunction with local businesses including several tea producers (farming coops and factories) who came together to create the Mandara Green Tea set.
Komatsu Naomi of Kanes Tea Factory always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of Yunomi.life.
\n
This yabukita cultivar tea leaf was shaded for 5 days before harvest beneath traditional straw shading (the kind used in heritage grade gyokuro and matcha). This creates the exquisitely balanced sweetness.
\n
It was handpicked with the 30 pluckers directed to choose only the bud and first leaf for the most delicate needle. Only 3kg were harvested of which we have 1kg.
\n
Then, light steamed (asamushi), the leaf remains intact, allowing a very careful crafting of the leaves into perfect needles, resulting in a translucent golden liquor.
\n
Finally, the finishing of the tea is done by hand, filtering out tea fannings and stems, the slowly green-roasted on a tradition Japanese washi paper table for about 8 min (heated to 77C, with the leaf heating to about 45C). The table itself was heated with bamboo charcoal (binchotan) with the heat adjusted by adding ash created from straw.
\n
To prevent the needles from breaking in transit to you, the tea is packaged in mini matte black cans. Note: limit of 50g per customer.
\n
\n
Steeping notes
\n
Tea: 2-3 grams. Time: 1-2 min. Water: 50C/122F, 30 ml.
\n
The 2nd steeping may use hotter water, steeping for 10-15 seconds. I prefer 70C/158F and 200 ml of water. Subsequent steepings may require more time - generally 60 seconds. A final steeping can be of cold water, 500 ml, and left in the refrigerator overnight for a light, refreshing iced tea the next morning.
\n
Alternatively, steep it under ice, allowing the ice to steep the tea leaf as it melts.
\nShading: About 5 days under honzu (traditional straw canopy)

\n
Komatsu Naomi of Kanes Tea Factory always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of Yunomi.life.
\n
This yabukita cultivar tea leaf was shaded for 5 days before harvest beneath traditional straw shading (the kind used in heritage grade gyokuro and matcha). This creates the exquisitely balanced sweetness.
\n
It was handpicked with the 30 pluckers directed to choose only the bud and first leaf for the most delicate needle. Only 3kg were harvested of which we have 1kg.
\n
Then, light steamed (asamushi), the leaf remains intact, allowing a very careful crafting of the leaves into perfect needles, resulting in a translucent golden liquor.
\n
Finally, the finishing of the tea is done by hand, filtering out tea fannings and stems, the slowly green-roasted on a tradition Japanese washi paper table for about 8 min (heated to 77C, with the leaf heating to about 45C). The table itself was heated with bamboo charcoal (binchotan) with the heat adjusted by adding ash created from straw.
\n
To prevent the needles from breaking in transit to you, the tea is packaged in mini matte black cans. Note: limit of 50g per customer.

Steeping notes
\n
Tea: 2-3 grams. Time: 1-2 min. Water: 50C/122F, 30 ml.
\n
The 2nd steeping may use hotter water, steeping for 10-15 seconds. I prefer 70C/158F and 200 ml of water. Subsequent steepings may require more time - generally 60 seconds. A final steeping can be of cold water, 500 ml, and left in the refrigerator overnight for a light, refreshing iced tea the next morning.
\n
Alternatively, steep it under ice, allowing the ice to steep the tea leaf as it melts.
浅蒸し茶 (Asamushicha), light-steamed tea, usually referring to sencha. In general, the highest quality teas are light-steamed, i.e. for about 30 seconds. This preserves the shape of the leaf. Chuumushi or Fukamushi (mid or deep steamed), breaks down the leaves making it easier to draw out more flavor so is used for leaves that are not as infused with the goodness that is tea.
