Winner of the 2022 Nihoncha Awards Platinum Medal! This award is held by the Nihoncha (\"Japanese tea\") Instructor's Association. Unlike regional and national tea competitions held throughout Japan featuring the unrefined tea leaves that come from farmers, the Nihoncha Awards accepts entries from farms, factories and sellers that are commercial products, refined teas meant for drinking by consumers. Awards are given out in August judged by a select panel of experts while they over winners in several categories are chosen after tea tastings are held for the general public (several hundred tasters) in December—a people’s choice type of award.
Remember, these are just guidelines (and may differ on our label). You can and should adjust according to your preference. More tea / less water / longer time for a stronger flavor; lower temperature for more sweetness / hotter temperature for more bitterness.
A blended fukamushi sencha, this tea is often the most popular tea from Kumamoto Tea Gardens. This is a mellow and rich fukamushicha which blends the fragrant Yabukita cultivar and umami-full Okuyutaka cultivar.
\n
From Kuma-san (tea farmer):
\n
Last summer, we were fortunate as we did not experience negative impacts such as intense heat, drought or flood damage. So, we are happy to share that this tea grew on a strong foundation as it went through a peaceful autumn and received plentiful rest throughout the winter months. This past March, we experienced a high rise in temperature as we hastily welcomed spring. Despite the warm weather, there were days with below zero degree (C) temperatures in the mornings which created temperature differences around 20 degrees between morning and afternoons. That being said, we have had excellent conditions with respect to making tea with remarkable flavor. The remaining days until our shincha harvest for this tea will determine whether we will be able to make good and high quality tea. Please look forward to this one, we will not let you down!
Notes: Mountain-grown. Deep-steamed resulting in a broken, powdery leaf and an opaque, deep-green liquor.

Highly Commended Award winner at the 2023 Leafies Awards.
\n
Created from the handpicked leaves of a Saemidori cultivar tea field that produced 2017’s perfect score Gyokuro winning the top prize at the National Tea Competition, this matcha offers an intense green color and rich umami flavor.
\n
Shaded by the Kuma family (Yame Tea Kumaen) for about 40 days using labor-intensive traditional canopy shading made of scaffolding and layered straw, the high elevation of the field helps to create slow growing leaves that take the time to absorb nutrients from the soil as the develop.
\n
At harvest time, the leaves are handpicked, then processed into tencha leaves, then aged for at least half a year in deep freeze to reduce bitterness even further. The leaves are then refined, and ground by stone mill into matcha.
\n
An ultra small batch, just a few kilograms of this matcha is available each year.
\n
Instructions for koicha
\n
Use 3g of matcha for 30 ml of water at 80C/175F degrees. Sift the matcha into your bowl, and add the water. Kneed the matcha against the bowl until you form a thick, even syrup. If you are unfamiliar with the terms koicha and usucha, please refer to the koicha blogpost.
\n
Instructions for usucha
\n

Highly Commended Award winner at the 2023 Leafies Awards.
\n
Created from the handpicked leaves of a Saemidori cultivar tea field that produced 2017’s perfect score Gyokuro winning the top prize at the National Tea Competition, this matcha offers an intense green color and rich umami flavor.
\n
Shaded by the Kuma family (Yame Tea Kumaen) for about 40 days using labor-intensive traditional canopy shading made of scaffolding and layered straw, the high elevation of the field helps to create slow growing leaves that take the time to absorb nutrients from the soil as the develop.
\n
At harvest time, the leaves are handpicked, then processed into tencha leaves, then aged for at least half a year in deep freeze to reduce bitterness even further. The leaves are then refined, and ground by stone mill into matcha.
\n
An ultra small batch, just a few kilograms of this matcha is available each year.
\n
Instructions for koicha
\n
Use 3g of matcha for 30 ml of water at 80C/175F degrees. Sift the matcha into your bowl, and add the water. Kneed the matcha against the bowl until you form a thick, even syrup. If you are unfamiliar with the terms koicha and usucha, please refer to the koicha blogpost.
\n
Instructions for usucha
\n
Use 2g of matcha for 100ml of water at 80C/175Fdegrees. Sift the matcha into your bowl, and add the water. Whisk with a bamboo whisk into a smooth liquor.

A note about the Kirari 31 cultivar
\n
A cultivar that is receiving increasing attention. 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 new single cultivar green tea, this Kirari-31 sencha comes from the award-winning Kuma Tea Gardens in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture. The Kirari-31 tea bushes were cultivated through the open-field cultivation. This tea will please you with a silky smooth mouthfeel and with its elegant and refreshing aroma. It is a tea that you will want to keep drinking.
\n
Unshaded, it will have slightly more bitter profile than sencha that have been shaded for a few days, and suited for those who like a strong-bodied green tea.

A note about the Kirari 31 cultivar
\n
A cultivar that is receiving increasing attention. 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.

This competition grade saemidori cultivar gyokuro from Yame, Fukuoka was cultivated using traditional canopy shading and other techniques then handpicked in a micro-batch by tea farmer Masahiro Kuma (Yame Tea Kumaen). A small batch is submitted to the National Tea Competition each year. This gyokuro holds gentle and soft nuances of round fruits such as white peach and melon.
This harvest was handpicked in April and won the Special “FORTNUM & MASON BEST IN SHOW” Award at the 2023 & 2024 Leafies Competition in the UK.
\n
This field produced 2017's 71st All Japan National Tea Competition, Gyokuro Category winning gyokuro (Minister's Award). Tea farmer Masahiro Kuma's winning gyokuro submission in 2017 was the only tea that received a perfect 200 out of 200 points.
\n
In 2019, this gyokuro won the Japanese Tea Selection Paris Grand Prix (shown in photo). This contest is judged by French food critics/scholars and they will evaluate not just the taste and aroma but also the compatibility with French cuisine as well as the packaging. Some of the comments Kuma-san received indicated that it goes well with chocolate. In 2020 as well Tenkaichi won the Bronze Medal, and in 2021 and 2022, won the Gold Medal at this competition. In 2023, Tenkaichi won the Fortnum & Mason Best in Show Award and a Gold Medal at the Leafies held in the UK.
\n
In 2024, the Tenkaichi was placed 9th at the National Tea Competition with a score of 194 / 200 points.
\n
The Name
\n
The name \"Tenkaichi\" means \"number one under the heavens\" and is used by many Japanese tea brands as their top gyokuro. But in Kuma-san's case in 2017, his gyokuro was truly the top in Japan, and fulfilled his son's Tanabata wish: \"ocha de ichiban\" --- \"to be number one in tea\" (Tanabata is the July 7th festival in which children place their wishes on bamboo branches).
\n
Another interesting bit of trivia is that Kuma-san and our other Gyokuro specialist Akio Kurihara (from Kurihara Tea Farm) are high school classmates and frequently compete against each other. In 2017, there were 100 entries and of the top 30, 24 were from Yame, Fukuoka, 4 from Kyoto, and 2 from Shizuoka. The saemidori cultivar also made up 28 of the top 30 entries.

This competition grade saemidori cultivar gyokuro from Yame, Fukuoka was cultivated using traditional canopy shading and other techniques then handpicked in a micro-batch by tea farmer Masahiro Kuma (Yame Tea Kumaen). A small batch is submitted to the National Tea Competition each year. This gyokuro holds gentle and soft nuances of round fruits such as white peach and melon.
This harvest was handpicked in April and won the Special “FORTNUM & MASON BEST IN SHOW” Award at the 2023 & 2024 Leafies Competition in the UK.
\n
This field produced 2017's 71st All Japan National Tea Competition, Gyokuro Category winning gyokuro (Minister's Award). Tea farmer Masahiro Kuma's winning gyokuro submission in 2017 was the only tea that received a perfect 200 out of 200 points.
\n
In 2019, this gyokuro won the Japanese Tea Selection Paris Grand Prix (shown in photo). This contest is judged by French food critics/scholars and they will evaluate not just the taste and aroma but also the compatibility with French cuisine as well as the packaging. Some of the comments Kuma-san received indicated that it goes well with chocolate. In 2020 as well Tenkaichi won the Bronze Medal, and in 2021 and 2022, won the Gold Medal at this competition. In 2023, Tenkaichi won the Fortnum & Mason Best in Show Award and a Gold Medal at the Leafies held in the UK.
\n
In 2024, the Tenkaichi was placed 9th at the National Tea Competition with a score of 194 / 200 points.
\n
The Name
\n
The name \"Tenkaichi\" means \"number one under the heavens\" and is used by many Japanese tea brands as their top gyokuro. But in Kuma-san's case in 2017, his gyokuro was truly the top in Japan, and fulfilled his son's Tanabata wish: \"ocha de ichiban\" --- \"to be number one in tea\" (Tanabata is the July 7th festival in which children place their wishes on bamboo branches).
\n
Another interesting bit of trivia is that Kuma-san and our other Gyokuro specialist Akio Kurihara (from Kurihara Tea Farm) are high school classmates and frequently compete against each other. In 2017, there were 100 entries and of the top 30, 24 were from Yame, Fukuoka, 4 from Kyoto, and 2 from Shizuoka. The saemidori cultivar also made up 28 of the top 30 entries.

This competition grade saemidori cultivar gyokuro from Yame, Fukuoka was cultivated using traditional canopy shading and other techniques then handpicked in a micro-batch by tea farmer Masahiro Kuma (Yame Tea Kumaen). A small batch is submitted to the National Tea Competition each year. This gyokuro holds gentle and soft nuances of round fruits such as white peach and melon.
The spring harvest was handpicked in April and won the Special \"FORTNUM & MASON BEST IN SHOW\" Award at the 2023 & 2024 Leafies Competition in the UK.
\n
This field produced 2017's 71st All Japan National Tea Competition, Gyokuro Category winning gyokuro (Minister's Award). Tea farmer Masahiro Kuma's winning gyokuro submission in 2017 was the only tea that received a perfect 200 out of 200 points.
\n
In 2019, this gyokuro won the Japanese Tea Selection Paris Grand Prix (shown in photo). This contest is judged by French food critics/scholars and they will evaluate not just the taste and aroma but also the compatibility with French cuisine as well as the packaging. Some of the comments Kuma-san received indicated that it goes well with chocolate. In 2020 as well Tenkaichi won the Bronze Medal, and in 2021 and 2022, won the Gold Medal at this competition. In 2023, Tenkaichi won the Fortnum & Mason Best in Show Award and a Gold Medal at the Leafies held in the UK.
\n
In 2024, the Tenkaichi was placed 9th at the National Tea Competition with a score of 194 / 200 points.
\n
The Name
\n
The name \"Tenkaichi\" means \"number one under the heavens\" and is used by many Japanese tea brands as their top gyokuro. But in Kuma-san's case in 2017, his gyokuro was truly the top in Japan, and fulfilled his son's Tanabata wish: \"ocha de ichiban\" --- \"to be number one in tea\" (Tanabata is the July 7th festival in which children place their wishes on bamboo branches).
\n
Another interesting bit of trivia is that Kuma-san and our other Gyokuro specialist Akio Kurihara (from Kurihara Tea Farm) are high school classmates and frequently compete against each other. In 2017, there were 100 entries and of the top 30, 24 were from Yame, Fukuoka, 4 from Kyoto, and 2 from Shizuoka. The saemidori cultivar also made up 28 of the top 30 entries.
