The Cultivar - Kirari 31

\n

The Kirari 31 is a cultivar that is receiving increasing attention in recent years. It was derived from a cross of Sakimidori (the mother or pollen parent) and Saemidori (the father or pollen parent. Saemidori itself a cross between Yabukita and Asatsuyu cultivars). The cultivar was first produced in 1994 with traits such as disease and cold resistance, good growth, and tea quality in mind, and indeed has shown very good resistance against frost so has been recommended to farmers cultivating at higher elevations. In general, the quality of tea made from the Kirari 31 is greater than that of Yabukita and compares with the umami level and color of Saemidori. Ready for harvest in general 3-4 days earlier than Yabukita, it has an excellent color (as you may be able to tell from the photo) with a mild flavor that is similar to Saemidori quality.

Gyokuro tea is grown beneath shading, cutting out some 85% of the sunlight. This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness. The results is an ultra delicate green tea with an extremely sweet taste profile.

\n

Unlike Kurihara Tea's Heritage Grade level Gyokuro (grown beneath traditional, handmade bamboo and/or straw shading), this Premium Gyokuro uses easier-to-handle vinyl covering, and is machine-harvested for greater volume. The shading allows for a rich umami flavor, while the larger volume harvested provides a lower price.

\n

\n

\nAging & Shincha \n

\n

While gyokuro is harvested at the same time as other spring teas, producers commonly prefer to age their gyokuro at least 4 months, often 6 months before releasing the product for sale. The aging of the product in cool, temperature-controlled environment allows the greenness--bitter, astringent flavors--to degrade, ever so slightly increasing the umami flavors. The final polish that transforms a high grade product into the best Japan has to offer. Kurihara Tea, however, chooses to make the new tea leaf available both for tea enthusiasts to taste the fresh leaf, and to enjoy aging on their own.

Gyokuro tea is grown beneath shading, cutting out some 85% of the sunlight. This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness. The results is an ultra delicate green tea with an extremely sweet taste profile.

\n

Unlike Kurihara Tea's Heritage Grade level Gyokuro (grown beneath traditional, handmade bamboo and/or straw shading), this Premium Gyokuro uses easier-to-handle vinyl covering, and is machine-harvested for greater volume. The shading allows for a rich umami flavor, while the larger volume harvested provides a lower price.

\n

\n

\nAging & Shincha \n

\n

While gyokuro is harvested at the same time as other spring teas, producers commonly prefer to age their gyokuro at least 4 months, often 6 months before releasing the product for sale. The aging of the product in cool, temperature-controlled environment allows the greenness--bitter, astringent flavors--to degrade, ever so slightly increasing the umami flavors. The final polish that transforms a high grade product into the best Japan has to offer. Kurihara Tea, however, chooses to make the new tea leaf available both for tea enthusiasts to taste the fresh leaf, and to enjoy aging on their own.

Kabusecha tea is grown beneath shading, reducing about 85% of the sunlight. This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness like gyokuro. However, the period of shading is usually shorter, 10-14 days, allowing for a slightly more astringency than gyokuro and producing a tea with a refined balance.

Kabusecha tea is grown beneath shading, reducing about 85% of the sunlight. This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness like gyokuro. However, the period of shading is usually shorter, 10-14 days, allowing for a slightly more astringency than gyokuro and producing a tea with a refined balance.

This award winning Saemidori cultivar kabusecha is part of Sueyoshi’s Furusato no Hana series (郷里の華 ). Literally, “hometown flower”, the name will conjure up feelings of nostalgia for the countryside, transporting you to the tea fields of the Soo region on the Southernmost main island of Japan, Kagoshima. Considered by many to be Mataki-san’s finest tea, this kabusecha offers a harmonious balance of flavors, especially popular among women. Also a delightfully refreshing cold brew for the summer time.

This award winning Saemidori cultivar kabusecha is part of Sueyoshi’s Furusato no Hana series (郷里の華 ). Literally, “hometown flower”, the name will conjure up feelings of nostalgia for the countryside, transporting you to the tea fields of the Soo region on the Southernmost main island of Japan, Kagoshima. Considered by many to be Mataki-san’s finest tea, this kabusecha offers a harmonious balance of flavors, especially popular among women. Also a delightfully refreshing cold brew for the summer time.

A delicious green tea for your daily cup, the first steeping of Kurihara-san's Hime Kaori offers a smooth balance between sweet and astringent flavors with a hint of roast, perfect for a nice moment of relaxation.

\n

First steeping: 5 grams of tea, 1 minute, 70C/158F degrees, 200 ml water 

\n

Primed for flavor extraction, second steeping will come out strong, so pour your hot water into the pot, and immediately out into your cup. The astringency will be noticeable for a strong, full-bodied tea with a hint of sweet but tangy citrus.

Second steeping: 10-20 seconds, 90C/194F degrees, 200 ml water 

\n

Grown by the Kurihara brothers in the back hills of Yame, in a small village of a 1000 people called Yabemura.

A delicious green tea for your daily cup, the first steeping of Kurihara-san's Hime Kaori offers a smooth balance between sweet and astringent flavors with a hint of roast, perfect for a nice moment of relaxation.

\n

First steeping: 5 grams of tea, 1 minute, 70C/158F degrees, 200 ml water 

\n

Primed for flavor extraction, second steeping will come out strong, so pour your hot water into the pot, and immediately out into your cup. The astringency will be noticeable for a strong, full-bodied tea with a hint of sweet but tangy citrus.

\n

Second steeping: 10-20 seconds, 90C/194F degrees, 200 ml water 

\n

Grown by the Kurihara brothers in the back hills of Yame, in a small village of a 1000 people called Yabemura.

"},{"id":1321127429,"title":"PREORDER ships late May - #0066.F2 Kurihara Tea: Den 伝 (Tradition) - Heritage Gyokuro Green Tea","handle":"kurihara-tea-02-heritage-gyokuro-green-tea","description":"

Gyokuro tea is grown beneath shading, cutting out some 85% of the sunlight. This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness. The results is an ultra delicate green tea with an extremely sweet taste profile.

\n

Kurihara Tea's Heritage Gyokuro is grown beneath traditional, handmade bamboo and/or straw shading. The moisture that drips from this natural shading flavors the tea -- a return to the past with this gourmet tea.

\n

\n

Advanced cultivation technique 

\n

(See tea plant photo) Termination of apex domination. A tea plant allowed to grow more freely for handpicking has an apex leaf bud at the tip of each branch as well as lateral leaf buds that form on older base leaves further down the branch. The plant will favor this apex bud giving it more nutrients to grow larger. By cutting off each and every apex at the start of spring, Kurihara-san forces these nutrients into the lateral buds infusing the new spring leaves with flavor. Those lateral buds are then carefully picked by hand.

\n\n

\n

 

\n\n

\nAging & Shincha \n

\n

While gyokuro is harvested at the same time as other spring teas, producers commonly prefer to age their gyokuro at least 4 months, often 6 months before releasing the product for sale. The aging of the product in cool, temperature-controlled environment allows the greenness--bitter, astringent flavors--to degrade, ever so slightly increasing the umami flavors. The final polish that transforms a high grade product into the best Japan has to offer. Kurihara Tea, however, chooses to make the new tea leaf available both for tea enthusiasts to taste the fresh leaf, and to enjoy aging on their own.

Gyokuro tea is grown beneath shading, cutting out some 85% of the sunlight. This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness. The results is an ultra delicate green tea with an extremely sweet taste profile.

\n

Kurihara Tea's Heritage Gyokuro is grown beneath traditional, handmade bamboo and/or straw shading. The moisture that drips from this natural shading flavors the tea -- a return to the past with this gourmet tea.

\n

\n

Advanced cultivation technique 

\n

(See tea plant photo) Termination of apex domination. A tea plant allowed to grow more freely for handpicking has an apex leaf bud at the tip of each branch as well as lateral leaf buds that form on older base leaves further down the branch. The plant will favor this apex bud giving it more nutrients to grow larger. By cutting off each and every apex at the start of spring, Kurihara-san forces these nutrients into the lateral buds infusing the new spring leaves with flavor. Those lateral buds are then carefully picked by hand.

\n\n

\nAging & Shincha \n

\n

While gyokuro is harvested at the same time as other spring teas, producers commonly prefer to age their gyokuro at least 4 months, often 6 months before releasing the product for sale. The aging of the product in cool, temperature-controlled environment allows the greenness--bitter, astringent flavors--to degrade, ever so slightly increasing the umami flavors. The final polish that transforms a high grade product into the best Japan has to offer. Kurihara Tea, however, chooses to make the new tea leaf available both for tea enthusiasts to taste the fresh leaf, and to enjoy aging on their own.

The Morita family's quality sencha is a result of 10 generations of tea farming. Like their Premium Sencha, Suiren (but with smaller leaves), this Sayama region green tea is can be steeped to be very astringent with a touch of umami (savoriness) using hot water, or with a great balance between astringency (shibumi) and umami savoriness using warm water.

\n

While not quite what we would call a kabusecha, the leaves for Kakurei are shaded for about 10 days before harvest for extra umami flavor notes, and low astringency.

\n

THE NAME: KAKUREI 鶴齡

\n

\"The delicate crane\", kakurei, is the mythical crane, a divine animal with the longevity of a thousand years, and a symbol of good fortune. More commonly known by the first character, tsuru 鶴, the crane evokes the magical, majestic power of nature.

About the Morita Family

\n

The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.

\n

Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.

\n

On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

The Morita family's quality sencha is a result of 10 generations of tea farming. Like their Premium Sencha, Suiren (but with smaller leaves), this Sayama region green tea is can be steeped to be very astringent with a touch of umami (savoriness) using hot water, or with a great balance between astringency (shibumi) and umami savoriness using warm water.

\n

While not quite what we would call a kabusecha, the leaves for Kakurei are shaded for about 10 days before harvest for extra umami flavor notes, and low astringency.

\n

THE NAME: KAKUREI 鶴齡

\n

\"The delicate crane\", kakurei, is the mythical crane, a divine animal with the longevity of a thousand years, and a symbol of good fortune. More commonly known by the first character, tsuru 鶴, the crane evokes the magical, majestic power of nature.

About the Morita Family

\n

The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.

\n

Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.

\n

On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

About the Morita Family

\n

The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.

\n

Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.

\n

On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

Carefully finished (post-processed) selecting the highest grades of leaves, the Morita family created this premium sencha with the love and dedication of 10th generation tea farmers. 

\n

The most premium sencha created by the Morita family, Suiren is shaded for 2 weeks so can also be called a kabusecha, though the northern latitude of the farm creates a stronger body than teas from more southern regions. 

\n

The name: Suiren 睡蓮

\n

Morita-san's premium sencha takes the name Suiren, the Japanese name for the water lily. Translated literally to \"sleeping lotus\", Suiren flowers are related to the lotus flower, and is the flower that Claude Monet studied in his famous Water Lilies painting. The lotus is a symbol of enlightenment in Japanese and Chinese aesthetics because the plant rises from the darkness of the pond and blooms into the light.

Carefully finished (post-processed) selecting the highest grades of leaves, the Morita family created this premium sencha with the love and dedication of 10th generation tea farmers. 

\n

The most premium sencha created by the Morita family, Suiren is shaded for 2 weeks so can also be called a kabusecha, though the northern latitude of the farm creates a stronger body than teas from more southern regions. 

\n

The name: Suiren 睡蓮

\n

Morita-san's premium sencha takes the name Suiren, the Japanese name for the water lily. Translated literally to \"sleeping lotus\", Suiren flowers are related to the lotus flower, and is the flower that Claude Monet studied in his famous Water Lilies painting. The lotus is a symbol of enlightenment in Japanese and Chinese aesthetics because the plant rises from the darkness of the pond and blooms into the light.

About the Morita Family

\n

The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.

\n

Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.

\n

On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

A delicate and lightly sweet tea coming from the award-winning Kurihara Tea Farm is a shiraore stem tea. So, what is meant by shiraore?  Shiraore is a term used for kukicha (“twig tea”), or leaf stem tea, made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha or gyokuro. This imperial shiraore consists of a blend of tea stems, stalks and twigs which came from the production of their imperial sencha, their finest sencha tea. While in Kyushu (the most southern island), the people call this type of tea shiraore, Kyoto folks call it karigane. Because the shiraore is a tea that comes mainly from the stems, the characteristics is a refreshing stalk aroma that will slightly differ from your typical sencha. 

\n

Kukicha (stem tea) is a fantastic staple tea to add especially because a high quality kukicha such as this one will be pleasing but they are also often affordable. If you are looking to explore more, the Kurihara family also has a shiraore with matcha and a gyokuro shiraore for you to try!

A delicate and lightly sweet tea coming from the award-winning Kurihara Tea Farm is a shiraore stem tea. So, what is meant by shiraore?  Shiraore is a term used for kukicha (“twig tea”), or leaf stem tea, made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha or gyokuro. This imperial shiraore consists of a blend of tea stems, stalks and twigs which came from the production of their imperial sencha, their finest sencha tea. While in Kyushu (the most southern island), the people call this type of tea shiraore, Kyoto folks call it karigane. Because the shiraore is a tea that comes mainly from the stems, the characteristics is a refreshing stalk aroma that will slightly differ from your typical sencha. 

\n

Kukicha (stem tea) is a fantastic staple tea to add especially because a high quality kukicha such as this one will be pleasing but they are also often affordable. If you are looking to explore more, the Kurihara family also has a shiraore with matcha and a gyokuro shiraore for you to try!

Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattuthis sencha comes from their 88th night tea harvest. This sencha was produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth. The soil of the tea bushes of this sencha are enriched with the solids discarded by a traditional local soy sauce maker, sake kasu (rice discarded after being fermented for sake), from a local brewery. Rice and wheat straw from their own farm are also placed between their tea bushes to further enrich the soil. Ayumi Farms is therefore placed within a beautiful cycle of regeneration - this is the key to a sustainable way of living. Through tea production, Ayumi Farms continues to contribute to the way agriculture has been deeply rooted in the region (i.e., Fujieda, Shizuoka prefecture).

This mountain tea is characterized by its thin and delicate leaves, sweetness, umami and rich aroma. And if you listen carefully, maybe you will be able to taste the laughter from the mountains!

About the Morita Family

\n

The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.

\n

Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.

\n

On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

\n

From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea that has been withered slightly for a few hours to impart a floral aroma.

\n

This type of tea is known as ichoucha - \"withered tea\" - and the processing technique is borrowed from oolong tea processing. During withering (a few hours between harvest and before steaming), the leaves undergo a very slight amount enzymatic oxidization, the same process used to create oolong and black teas. Doing this adds floral notes to the leaf.

Winner of 

\n

From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea that has been withered slightly for a few hours to impart a floral aroma.

\n

This type of tea is known as ichoucha - \"withered tea\" - and the processing technique is borrowed from oolong tea processing. During withering (a few hours between harvest and before steaming), the leaves undergo a very slight amount enzymatic oxidization, the same process used to create oolong and black teas. Doing this adds floral notes to the leaf.

\n\n

 

\n

The Cultivar - Okuharuka

From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a shincha shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha).

\n

The Saeakari tea cultivar is quite new on the tea market. A descendant of Saemidori and Z1 cultivars, it is ready for harvest a little after Saemidori and before Yabukita cultivars, producing more volume. In the spring, like Saemidori, it produces leaves with a bright green color. While each tea's flavor is also heavily influenced by the farmer's cultivation and processing skill (and their intended flavor), one can expect a bright green, refreshing sweet tea from Tomizawa Tea Garden. This is a tea with a sweet taste that spreads in your mouth and disappears quickly without any bitterness or astringency.

\n

As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.

This is Chiyonoen’s number one popular single-cultivar sencha; the Okumidori sencha. It has a refreshing aroma and fruity after taste that will spread in your mouth. To fully appreciate the original aroma and flavor of the Okumidori cultivar, husband and wife tea farmers Masashi and Eri Harashima steamed it slightly strongly ( not a deep-steamed sencha) and fired it slightly to provide a rich taste. Chiyonoen has several single-cultivar senchas, please enjoy the unique taste and aroma of the different tea varieties. 
A note about the Okumidori Cultivar:  It is a late-maturing cultivar that is harvested towards the end of tea harvesting season. A cultivar that is well known for having a strong taste and aroma, often utilized to make matcha.

This is Chiyonoen’s number one popular single-cultivar sencha; the Okumidori sencha. It has a refreshing aroma and fruity after taste that will spread in your mouth. To fully appreciate the original aroma and flavor of the Okumidori cultivar, husband and wife tea farmers Masashi and Eri Harashima steamed it slightly strongly ( not a deep-steamed sencha) and fired it slightly to provide a rich taste. Chiyonoen has several single-cultivar senchas, please enjoy the unique taste and aroma of the different tea varieties. 
A note about the Okumidori Cultivar:  It is a late-maturing cultivar that is harvested towards the end of tea harvesting season. A cultivar that is well known for having a strong taste and aroma, often utilized to make matcha.

\n

One of the first (if not THE first) harvest of the season!

\n

Shoju is a rare cultivar grown by Tanegashima Island tea farmer Iba Takahiro, shaded for about 10 days, and harvested in the third week of March making it one of the earliest teas harvested in Japan. As such, Iba-san is interviewed by TV crews every year!

\n

2024’s harvest was the second earliest in history on March 18 (2010 was the earliest at March 16). Iba-san says he determines the harvest by determine the start of shading after the second leaf bud appears, and decided to harvest around the 4th leaf bud appearance then harvesting a bud and 3-4 young, tender leaves. He pays careful attention to the leaf growth at this time of the year to determine the perfect timing.

\n

Total crop yield this year was only 25kg, and already sold out at the farm, so our stock is limited to what we have!

One of the first (if not THE first) harvest of the season!

\n

Shoju is a rare cultivar grown by Tanegashima Island tea farmer Iba Takahiro, shaded for about 10 days, and harvested in the third week of March making it one of the earliest teas harvested in Japan. As such, Iba-san is interviewed by TV crews every year!

\n

2024’s harvest was the second earliest in history on March 18 (2010 was the earliest at March 16). Iba-san says he determines the harvest by determine the start of shading after the second leaf bud appears, and decided to harvest around the 4th leaf bud appearance then harvesting a bud and 3-4 young, tender leaves. He pays careful attention to the leaf growth at this time of the year to determine the perfect timing.

\n

Total crop yield this year was only 25kg, and already sold out at the farm, so our stock is limited to what we have!

A very popular sencha from Chiyonoen, this Saemidori single cultivar sencha will please you as it is very soft and  gentle to the mouth. This cultivar is known for not having much bitterness. In fact, one is sure to be delighted by a combination of refreshing flavor mixed with its sweetness that will spread throughout your mouth. Please enjoy across multiple steeps! 

\n

A note about the cultivar: The Saemidori cultivar is known for its bright green color (in Japanese, Saemidori menas “clear green”). It is a cultivar that was first cross-bred in 1969 between Asatsuyu, the “natural gyokuro” for its rich umami flavors and the popular Yabukita cultivar which balances flavor with great crop yield and resistance to disease. It is a cultivar that has grown in familiarity and has been increasingly liked by Japanese tea lovers. Please enjoy this single-oriign Saemidori sencha from Chiyonoen.

Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattuthis sencha was handpicked by Ayumi-san and a community of supporters from her fields in the mountains of Fujieda, Shizuoka. Just 10kg are picked turning into 2kg of leaf for an ultra micro production lot.

\n

This sencha was produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth. The soil of the tea bushes of this sencha are enriched with the solids discarded by a traditional local soy sauce maker, sake kasu (rice discarded after being fermented for sake), from a local brewery. Rice and wheat straw from their own farm are also placed between their tea bushes to further enrich the soil. Ayumi Farms is therefore placed within a beautiful cycle of regeneration - this is the key to a sustainable way of living. Through tea production, Ayumi Farms continues to contribute to the way agriculture has been deeply rooted in the region (i.e., Fujieda, Shizuoka prefecture).

Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattuthis sencha was handpicked by Ayumi-san and a community of supporters from her fields in the mountains of Fujieda, Shizuoka. Just 10kg are picked turning into 2kg of leaf for an ultra micro production lot.

\n

This sencha was produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth. The soil of the tea bushes of this sencha are enriched with the solids discarded by a traditional local soy sauce maker, sake kasu (rice discarded after being fermented for sake), from a local brewery. Rice and wheat straw from their own farm are also placed between their tea bushes to further enrich the soil. Ayumi Farms is therefore placed within a beautiful cycle of regeneration - this is the key to a sustainable way of living. Through tea production, Ayumi Farms continues to contribute to the way agriculture has been deeply rooted in the region (i.e., Fujieda, Shizuoka prefecture).

The cultivar was first produced in 1994 with traits such as disease and cold resistance, good growth, and tea quality in mind, and indeed has shown very good resistance against frost so has been recommended to farmers cultivating at higher elevations. In general, the quality of tea made from the Kirari 31 is greater than that of Yabukita and compares with the umami level and color of Saemidori. Ready for harvest in general 3-4 days earlier than Yabukita, it has an excellent color (as you may be able to tell from the photo) with a mild flavor that is similar to Saemidori quality.

A single cultivar Fukumidori sencha green tea from the award-winning Okutomi Tea Garden that has been withered slightly for a few hours to impart a floral aroma. 

\n

 

\n

Fukumidori is a local cultivar grown mainly in Saitama prefecture. It is highly praised for its refreshing aroma and taste (i.e., quite different from the wide spread Yabukita cultivar). 

\n

This type of tea is known as ichoucha - \"withered tea\" - and the processing technique is borrowed from oolong tea processing. During withering (a few hours between harvest and before steaming), the leaves undergo a very slight amount enzymatic oxidization, the same process used to create oolong and black teas. Doing this adds floral notes to the leaf.

From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a rare handpicked fukamushicha blend. Fukamushi - or deep steaming - was invented to give tea leaves a better flavor profile despite being lower grade leaves. To use it on handpicked leaves is rare as the connoisseur market in Japan general likes the delicacy of light steaming for carefully handpicked leaves. As an experiment, Okutomi-san decided to try deep steaming some of his handpicked harvest this year.

From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a rare handpicked fukamushicha blend. Fukamushi - or deep steaming - was invented to give tea leaves a better flavor profile despite being lower grade leaves. To use it on handpicked leaves is rare as the connoisseur market in Japan general likes the delicacy of light steaming for carefully handpicked leaves. As an experiment, Okutomi-san decided to try deep steaming some of his handpicked harvest this year.

What is Kukicha? 

\n

This refreshing kukicha is a specialty from Ayumi Farms, coming from their 88th night tea harvest. Recall that kukicha literally means \"stem tea\", and is a derivative of the refinement process of sencha. Refining sencha tea leaf involves the removal of stems, small leaf bits, and tea dust. Each part has a different weight, and separation occurs by blowing the unrefined dried tea leaf and allowing each part to fall into different containers. For this reason, kukicha is not 100% stems but a mix of stems and smaller leaf bits.

\n

When preparing this tea, there is no need to cool the hot water (i.e., the boiled water can go straight into the tea pot). It can also be enjoyed cold in the summer time.

\n

Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattu, this kukicha was produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth. The soil of the tea bushes of this kukicha was enriched with the solids discarded by a traditional local soy sauce maker, sake kasu (rice discarded after being fermented for sake), from a local brewery and straw from their own farm. If you sense carefully, you may be able to taste the mountainous notes of this kukicha!

A premium sencha coming from the Yokota Tea Garden which was picked on the 88th night (Japanese: 八十八夜; hachijyu-hachiya). According to the traditional Japanese lunar calendar, hachijyu-hachiya signifies the 88th night after the start of spring and is also used to mark the start of shincha harvesting. Tea from this harvest is said to bring you a fortuitous life. Meanwhile the first picking of the season is called hatsutsumi. Early picking of younger leaves generates a tea with an extra delicate and sweeter flavor profile with an aroma full of early summer. The younger leaves were then deep steamed to make a fukamushicha. Grown by 4th, 5th, and 6th generation tea farmers in the famous Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture.

A premium sencha coming from the Yokota Tea Garden which was picked on the 88th night (Japanese: 八十八夜; hachijyu-hachiya). According to the traditional Japanese lunar calendar, hachijyu-hachiya signifies the 88th night after the start of spring and is also used to mark the start of shincha harvesting. Tea from this harvest is said to bring you a fortuitous life. Meanwhile the first picking of the season is called hatsutsumi. Early picking of younger leaves generates a tea with an extra delicate and sweeter flavor profile with an aroma full of early summer. The younger leaves were then deep steamed to make a fukamushicha. Grown by 4th, 5th, and 6th generation tea farmers in the famous Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture.

The Cultivar - Kirari 31

\n

The Kirari 31 is a cultivar that is receiving increasing attention in recent years. It was derived from a cross of Sakimidori (the mother or pollen parent) and Saemidori (the father or pollen parent. Saemidori itself a cross between Yabukita and Asatsuyu cultivars). The cultivar was first produced in 1994 with traits such as disease and cold resistance, good growth, and tea quality in mind, and indeed has shown very good resistance against frost so has been recommended to farmers cultivating at higher elevations. In general, the quality of tea made from the Kirari 31 is greater than that of Yabukita and compares with the umami level and color of Saemidori. Ready for harvest in general 3-4 days earlier than Yabukita, it has an excellent color (as you may be able to tell from the photo) with a mild flavor that is similar to Saemidori quality.

A premium sencha made with a single tea plant cultivar, sayama-kaori. This cultivar is named after the Sayama tea region (where Yokota Tea Garden is based), which encompasses Saitama prefecture and a small area of northwestern Tokyo. The Yokota Tea Garden processed this tea using the \"ichoka\" method, in which the harvested tea leaves are withered to enhance their scent. It was also steamed for a long time to enhance the rich flavor. Grown by 4th, 5th, and 6th generation tea farmers in the famous Sayama region of Saitama prefecture.

From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea (Kirari 31) harvested on April 12, 2023, and rolled by hand for 6.5 hours.

 

 

Just 1.7 kg were carefully handpicked and steamed for 10 minutes. After rolling for 6.5 hours, just 300 grams were produced.

  • Ingredients: Green tea
  • Cultivar: Kirari 31
  • Harvest: April
  • Region: Sayama, Saitama
  • Limited to one unit per person

 

The Cultivar - Kirari 31

The Kirari 31 is a cultivar that is receiving increasing attention in recent years. It was derived from a cross of Sakimidori (the mother or pollen parent) and Saemidori (the father or pollen parent. Saemidori itself a cross between Yabukita and Asatsuyu cultivars). The cultivar was first produced in 1994 with traits such as disease and cold resistance, good growth, and tea quality in mind, and indeed has shown very good resistance against frost so has been recommended to farmers cultivating at higher elevations. In general, the quality of tea made from the Kirari 31 is greater than that of Yabukita and compares with the umami level and color of Saemidori. Ready for harvest in general 3-4 days earlier than Yabukita, it has an excellent color (as you may be able to tell from the photo) with a mild flavor that is similar to Saemidori quality.
