Obubu's Taiyou no Sencha (Haru) 太陽の煎茶 (春) or Sencha of the Sun (Spring) is grown on south-facing slopes to maximize exposure to sunlight. A stream running nearby generates mists which helps us to consistently grow fragrant leaves every year.

Obubu's Taiyou no Sencha (Haru) 太陽の煎茶 (春) or Sencha of the Sun (Spring) is grown on south-facing slopes to maximize exposure to sunlight. A stream running nearby generates mists which helps us to consistently grow fragrant leaves every year.

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 and complex taste profile. The Kurihara family'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.

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. For more info, see this article

\n

 

\n\n

Aging & Shincha

\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 and complex taste profile. The Kurihara family'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.

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. For more info, see this article

\n

 

\n\n

Aging & Shincha

\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.

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.

The hime midori is a late spring harvest premium sencha leaf from the award-winning Kurihara family (based in Yame, Fukuoka prefecture). They are one of Japan's best at creating a premium green tea called gyokuro. We are happy to share that tea farmer Akio Kurihara creates some of the best teas we have. This is a popular sencha that is perfect to send as a gift and a go-to sencha at home. The Kurihara family recommends steeping in hot water between 70-80 degrees for about a minute. The sweetness will spread even more and fill you with delicious delight. 

\n

Please note that the \"Shincha\" packaging (white package with the characters for shincha; 新茶) is limited and will switch over to standard packaging when it runs out.

The hime midori is a late spring harvest premium sencha leaf from the award-winning Kurihara family (based in Yame, Fukuoka prefecture). They are one of Japan's best at creating a premium green tea called gyokuro. We are happy to share that tea farmer Akio Kurihara creates some of the best teas we have. This is a popular sencha that is perfect to send as a gift and a go-to sencha at home. The Kurihara family recommends steeping in hot water between 70-80 degrees for about a minute. The sweetness will spread even more and fill you with delicious delight.

Named after the goddess of the Yame region, Yame Tsuhime, this sencha is Kurihara Tea's most premium sencha...a green tea worthy of the goddess. Picked on the morning of the 88th night after the start of spring in the lunar calendar, Hachijyuhachiya (“days” were counted starting in the evening in ancient times hence the use of “night”), has been known as a fortuitous time to pick tea leaves. During the shincha new tea season it is also sold in a special package.

Story of “Hime-cha”

\n

According to the Nihon Shoki (720), the Chronicles of Japan, while Emperor Keiko was traveling in the Kyushu region he pointed to the direction of Yabe-mura and asked, “are there gods in the beautiful mountains of the east?” Then the territorial ruler answered, “there is a goddess named Yametsu-hime.” It is said that this is the origin of the name Yame. Yabe-mura, Kami-no-iwaya (god’s cave) district of Okuyame region surrounded by the mountains is where the Yame Shrine stands. Tea produced in the land where the hime (princess in Japanese) became goddess is named “Hime-cha” (cha meaning tea). The morning mist, settle wind, and the fresh spring water makes the beautiful nature and soil. “Human-friendly, body-friendly, and environmental-friendly” is the motto for our tea production that has been passed on for four generations in the Okuyame region. And “Hime-cha Monogatari (Hime-cha story)” incorporates all these feelings and history of the tea producers. Please enjoy the flavor and taste cultivated by people and nature.

Named after the goddess of the Yame region, Yame Tsuhime, this sencha is Kurihara Tea's most premium sencha...a green tea worthy of the goddess. Picked on the morning of the 88th night after the start of spring in the lunar calendar, Hachijyuhachiya (“days” were counted starting in the evening in ancient times hence the use of “night”), has been known as a fortuitous time to pick tea leaves. During the shincha new tea season it is also sold in a special package.

Story of “Hime-cha”

\n

According to the Nihon Shoki (720), the Chronicles of Japan, while Emperor Keiko was traveling in the Kyushu region he pointed to the direction of Yabe-mura and asked, “are there gods in the beautiful mountains of the east?” Then the territorial ruler answered, “there is a goddess named Yametsu-hime.” It is said that this is the origin of the name Yame. Yabe-mura, Kami-no-iwaya (god’s cave) district of Okuyame region surrounded by the mountains is where the Yame Shrine stands. Tea produced in the land where the hime (princess in Japanese) became goddess is named “Hime-cha” (cha meaning tea). The morning mist, settle wind, and the fresh spring water makes the beautiful nature and soil. “Human-friendly, body-friendly, and environmental-friendly” is the motto for our tea production that has been passed on for four generations in the Okuyame region. And “Hime-cha Monogatari (Hime-cha story)” incorporates all these feelings and history of the tea producers. Please enjoy the flavor and taste cultivated by people and nature.

Meet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2024 and certified organic by JAS. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you're supporting sustainable farming practices.

\n

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). The Okumidori tea cultivar has been quite popular in recent years for its strong natural umami flavor (enhanced by the shading) and deep green color. With this kabusecha, a deep and soft umami flavor will be followed by a refreshing sweet aftertaste, which spreads in your mouth. This tea is recommended to be paired with Western desserts like cake. 

\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.

Meet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2024 and certified organic by JAS. The other teas are also grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you're supporting sustainable farming practices.

\n

From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a green tea shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha). The Saemidori tea cultivar is has been the most popular cultivar among tea connoisseurs in Japan in recent years due to its bright color and sweet flavor, both enhanced by shading. This saemidori kabusecha has a rich sweetness followed by a refreshing sweetness, leaving a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. The tea has very little 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.

Kuma Tea Gardens’ award winning saemidori sencha is a tea which will make you pleasantly realize that Japanese tea can indeed be sweet. This tea is their hatsu-tsumi sencha, which is their \"First picking\" or the tea farmer's very first harvest of the spring season. The saemidori cultivar is known for its brilliant color and brilliant green is exactly what you get with this leaf when steeping at hotter temperatures. Besides the pleasant color, the surprising amount of umami flavor despite zero shading (i.e., it is a sencha) is a testament to Kuma-san's soil development and care for his tea bushes. This saemidori sencha received the gold medal (Prix D'OR) in the Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2020.

A note from Kuma-san (tea farmer):

\n

A tea which is representative of Yame-cha (Yame, Fukuoka’s tea) with a mellow taste and rounded sweetness. We are proud to present you with this sencha that can be characterized by a soft but rich condensed taste and a refreshing flavor, which we hope will make your heart content! When brewed with ice, the rich umami and sweetness that this tea produces will make you mistake it for a gyokuro… The refreshing aroma of this tea upon opening this tea package is exquisite and inviting. We will be delighted if you may enjoy this authentic tea from Yame!

The delicate dance of sweetness, bitterness and umami, results in a deeply refreshing tea experience. With the first sip, you sense the umami melting in your mouth.

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.

This organic sencha Ranryu is made from a rare cultivar called Inzatsu #131, born from the Indian Assam Manipuri #5 cultivar and an unknown father. This cultivar is characterized by its unique floral fragrance, as it contains the aromatic component methyl anthranilate (reminiscent of roses and jasmine). That is how this intriguing tea from Tarui Tea Farm received the name \"Ranryu\", which translates to \"Orchid Dragon\".

Steeping Notes

\n

Consider also cold steeping or ice steeping (see Steeping Techniques). The main thing to note is that lower water temperatures create a sweeter flavor profile while hotter temperatures create a more bitter, astringent profile. More water or less tea will reduce the strength of the tea.

This organic sencha Ranryu is made from a rare cultivar called Inzatsu #131, born from the Indian Assam Manipuri #5 cultivar and an unknown father. This cultivar is characterized by its unique floral fragrance, as it contains the aromatic component methyl anthranilate (reminiscent of roses and jasmine). That is how this intriguing tea from Tarui Tea Farm received the name \"Ranryu\", which translates to \"Orchid Dragon\".

Steeping Notes

\n

Consider also cold steeping or ice steeping (see Steeping Techniques). The main thing to note is that lower water temperatures create a sweeter flavor profile while hotter temperatures create a more bitter, astringent profile. More water or less tea will reduce the strength of the tea.

\n"},{"id":1311915653,"title":"#0054.S5 NaturaliTea #18: Organic Premium Kabuse Sencha 有機一番摘み煎茶: 冠(かぶせ)茶","handle":"naturalitea-premium-kabuse-sencha-hako-iri-musume","description":"

From one of Japan's organic tea pioneers comes a special premium shaded sencha or Kabuse Sencha. Shaded for two weeks for harvest, the deep pine-green leaf needles give a rich aroma of umami savoriness.

\n

OUR STEEPING EXPERIENCE

\n

Steeped at 40˚C/104˚F degrees for 3 minutes (3 grams of leaf, 80 ml of water), it creates a syrupy ambrosia that is to be enjoyed drop by drop.

\n

We recommend you steep all the umami savoriness from the leaf at low temperatures, then you may proceed to steeping the refined astringency at hotter temperatures with larger amounts of water. (See our gyokuro steeping techniques)

\n

The more standard Warm Water method is also recommended for a balance of umami and astringency (see the Steeping Notes tab).

"},{"id":4801820622953,"title":"#0351.K5 Kajihara Tea Garden #02: Densho, Kamairicha Green Tea from Kumamoto 伝承 釜炒り茶","handle":"densho","description":"

Kajihara Tea Garden’s best selling tea, \"Densho\" (meaning \"tradition\" in Japanese). This original kamairicha is produced from 60-year old tea bushes grown from seed (zairai) and then blended with okuyataka and yabukita cultivar tea leaves.

\n

Because the main zairai tea bushes are located on a steep slope (at least 30 degrees), the tea is made with a lot of care and effort. Yes, the tea work on this farm can even be dangerous at times! Made through the traditional kamairicha producing method, this tea has a relatively strong scent but is refreshing to drink.

\n

Kamairicha (literally pan-fired tea) is a type of tea processing method that was brought from China in the 15th-16th century. Instead of steaming the leaf to stop oxidization, a processor will instead lightly heat the leaf in a pan to stop oxidization. It is then rolled while drying. Kamairicha products are mostly made in the Kyushu region.

\n

Delicious fukamushicha, or deep-steamed tea, from the Village of Ei in Kagoshima Prefecture. Together with the Villages of Chiran and Kawabe, the entire region is known as the Chiran region producing world famous Chirancha (Tea from Chiran). The first flush tends to be characterised by an excellent balance between delicate flavor and reasonable pricing, a gem hiding quietly waiting to be discovered. 

\n

About the cultivar: Yutaka Midori (ゆたかみどり) means abundant green in Japanese. It is a cultivar that is mostly found in Kagoshima prefecture (30% cultivated area) as it is a cultivar that is suitable for warm weather. This cultivar ranks second after the Yabukita cultivar with respect to cultivation area and popularity in Japan. While producers often mix the Yutaka Midori with other cultivars, a single cultivar tea will give a deep green color with a balanced astringency and sweetness and pleasant fragrance.

Delicious fukamushicha, or deep-steamed tea, from the Village of Ei in Kagoshima Prefecture. Together with the Villages of Chiran and Kawabe, the entire region is known as the Chiran region producing world famous Chirancha (Tea from Chiran). The first flush tends to be characterised by an excellent balance between delicate flavor and reasonable pricing, a gem hiding quietly waiting to be discovered. 

\n

About the cultivar: Yutaka Midori (ゆたかみどり) means abundant green in Japanese. It is a cultivar that is mostly found in Kagoshima prefecture (30% cultivated area) as it is a cultivar that is suitable for warm weather. This cultivar ranks second after the Yabukita cultivar with respect to cultivation area and popularity in Japan. While producers often mix the Yutaka Midori with other cultivars, a single cultivar tea will give a deep green color with a balanced astringency and sweetness and pleasant fragrance.

The most common type of tea plant in Japan is the Yabukita cultivar, said to make up 80% of Japan's sencha production. Developed by research Hikosaburo Sugiyama in 1954 at the Shizuoka Prefectural Tea Industry Laboratory, it was selected as the recommended tea plant for the prefecture, and over the decades was adopted across Japan. In 1999, as much as 95.6% of Japan's tea farms cultivated tea from the Yabukita tea plant cultivar. Yabukita is so highly utilized because it produces a very good quality leaf in addition to adapting well to various climates, soils, and producing a high yield.

The most common type of tea plant in Japan is the Yabukita cultivar, said to make up 80% of Japan's sencha production. Developed by research Hikosaburo Sugiyama in 1954 at the Shizuoka Prefectural Tea Industry Laboratory, it was selected as the recommended tea plant for the prefecture, and over the decades was adopted across Japan. In 1999, as much as 95.6% of Japan's tea farms cultivated tea from the Yabukita tea plant cultivar. Yabukita is so highly utilized because it produces a very good quality leaf in addition to adapting well to various climates, soils, and producing a high yield.

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.

Organic spring sencha harvested between late April to early May. 

\n

Steaming: Takeo-san steams the leaves for a slightly longer time than usual sencha, so we have classified this as a fukamushicha.

\n

Cultivars: Yabukita, zairai (grown from seed) blend

\n

Pesticide use: Takeo-san uses no pesticides in cultivation and have isolated their tea fields away from other agricultural activities to prevent contamination. Of the some 20k tea farmers in Japan the Takeo family is one of a few family-operated artisan tea farms who have had their tea certified. 

\n

JAS (Japan Agricultural Standard) certification mark

Organic spring sencha harvested between late April to early May. 

\n

Steaming: Takeo-san steams the leaves for a slightly longer time than usual sencha, so we have classified this as a fukamushicha.

\n

Cultivars: Yabukita, zairai (grown from seed) blend

\n

Pesticide use: Takeo-san uses no pesticides in cultivation and have isolated their tea fields away from other agricultural activities to prevent contamination. Of the some 20k tea farmers in Japan the Takeo family is one of a few family-operated artisan tea farms who have had their tea certified.

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!

Another one of Tarui-san's recommendations from their tea selection, Tarui-san's first flush green tea, deep-steamed, but left unrefined. In order to properly store the tea leaves over a longer period, the leaves are green roasted, which also imparts a slight toastiness to the leaf. At Tarui Tea Farm, they value the unique aroma of their Aracha (raw leaves) without selecting the leaves and stems. In fact, Tarui Tea Farm takes pride in their aracha (raw leaf) factory. The aracha factory is where the tea leaves are steamed and then rolled into aracha, a very important step in Japanese tea processing. This is a well-balanced tea with a strong flavor and aroma, suitable for tea lovers.

Flavor

\n

The flavor of this tea is bright and vegetal green with a hint of bitterness. There are also some deeper green notes and a bit of astringency.

\n

Steeping Notes

\n

Consider also cold steeping or ice steeping (see Steeping Techniques). The main thing to note is that lower water temperatures create a sweeter flavor profile while hotter temperatures create a more bitter, astringent profile. More water or less tea will reduce the strength of the tea.

The Harashima family's Hachijyuhachiya is harvested on the 88th day of spring in the lunar calendar, which is not only a fortuitous day but an early harvest of extra delicate leaves that grew in the beautiful mountains of Yame village (Yame, Fukuoka prefecture). This tea is especially for those who are seeking high-quality rich tea. Within the deep flavor, one will also be pleased with a sense of being refreshed.

Spring sencha harvested between late April to early May. 

\n

Steaming: Takeo-san steams the leaves for a slightly longer time than usual sencha, so we have classified this as a fukamushicha.

\n

Cultivars: Yabukita, zairai (grown from seed) blend

\n

Pesticide use: Takeo-san uses no pesticides in cultivation and have isolated their tea fields away from other agricultural activities to prevent contamination. Of the some 20k tea farmers in Japan the Takeo family is one of a few family-operated artisan tea farms who have had their tea certified. 

\n

JAS (Japan Agricultural Standard) certification mark

\n

\n\"\"Flavor

\n

Bright and refreshingly green sencha with very mild astringency that adds freshness to the flavor. It is light bodied and easy to drink.

Spring sencha harvested between late April to early May. 

\n

Steaming: Takeo-san steams the leaves for a slightly longer time than usual sencha, so we have classified this as a fukamushicha.

\n

Cultivars: Yabukita, zairai (grown from seed) blend

\n

Pesticide use: Takeo-san uses no pesticides in cultivation and have isolated their tea fields away from other agricultural activities to prevent contamination. Of the some 20k tea farmers in Japan the Takeo family is one of a few family-operated artisan tea farms who have had their tea certified. 

\n

JAS (Japan Agricultural Standard) certification mark

\n

\n\"\"Flavor

\n

Bright and refreshingly green sencha with very mild astringency that adds freshness to the flavor. It is light bodied and easy to drink.

Bocha (BOH-chah) is a type of tea made from larger stems filtered from larger leaves, then usually roasted until brown, and often called \"twig tea\" because it resembles small twigs as a result.

\n

However, Mataki-san doesn't roast this spring-harvested bocha created from single cultivar and shaded okumidori kabusecha that has been deep steamed. Unroasted, and not strictly filtered from tea leaves, it creates a tea with a sweet, delicate scent and rich umami.

\n

A soft aftertaste, gentle to the mouth, this tea will make you want to experience it again and again. On the second round, steep this bocha at a higher temperature and you may be pleasantly surprised by a subtle edge, followed by a mellow sweetness.

A shincha coming from Kurihara Tea Farm (Yame, Fukuoka prefecture); specialists in gyokuro tea leaf cultivation and processing, this Hachijyuhachiya shincha (literally, “88th night new tea”) is a tea that was poetically harvested on the 88th day from the start of spring according to the old lunar calendar. Picked on May 1st this year, drinking this tea is said to bring you good fortune and health throughout the year ahead.  Indeed, this shincha comes from the transition from spring to summer, which in Japan is regarded as an ideal and fortuitous time to harvest tea and start the planting of rice. Not only can you enjoy this tea over multiple steeps (3-4 steeps), the brewed tea leaves can be great for salads (top with soy sauce and bonito flakes, or your own salad dressing), to add into miso soup, or as a pizza topping. Enjoy!

A shincha coming from Kurihara Tea Farm (Yame, Fukuoka prefecture); specialists in gyokuro tea leaf cultivation and processing, this Hachijyuhachiya shincha (literally, “88th night new tea”) is a tea that was poetically harvested on the 88th day from the start of spring according to the old lunar calendar. Picked on May 1st this year, drinking this tea is said to bring you good fortune and health throughout the year ahead.  Indeed, this shincha comes from the transition from spring to summer, which in Japan is regarded as an ideal and fortuitous time to harvest tea and start the planting of rice. Not only can you enjoy this tea over multiple steeps (3-4 steeps), the brewed tea leaves can be great for salads (top with soy sauce and bonito flakes, or your own salad dressing), to add into miso soup, or as a pizza topping. Enjoy!

Winner of the 2022 Nihoncha Awards Platinum Medal! 

\n

This fukamushicha from tea garden Shuchi in Morimachi Village, Shizuoka, is made from a single cultivar, the new and still rare Kirari 31, and is the very first harvest in 2022 from a new field. 

\n

Refined by Osada Tea, the fukamushicha won the Platinum Medal at the 2022 Nihoncha Awards, 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.

Winner of the 2022 Nihoncha Awards Platinum Medal! 

\n

This fukamushicha from tea garden Shuchi in Morimachi Village, Shizuoka, is made from a single cultivar, the new and still rare Kirari 31, and is the very first harvest in 2022 from a new field. 

\n

Refined by Osada Tea, the fukamushicha won the Platinum Medal at the 2022 Nihoncha Awards, 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.

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.

About the Tea Farmer

\n"},{"id":4632965546089,"title":"#0391.S5 Kanes Tea: April 2024 Kanaya Shuho 金谷秀峰, Limited Handrolled First Flush Asamushicha","handle":"kanaya-shuho-by-kanes-tea-factory-limited-handrolled-first-flush-spring-asamushicha","description":"

A special, Limited Edition shincha from Shizuoka, this tea was handpicked for perfect leaf shape and quality, light steamed (asamushicha, again to preserve shape), and finally handrolled for 4-5 hours by master tea craftsman Komatsu Yukiya to create these perfect needles. An experience for all tea connoisseurs, expect a translucent yellow liquor, with feathery, dry, green notes that bring you into the spring tea fields and a lingering buttery aftertaste.

\n

Yama no Ibuki means “breath of the mountain” and is one less common cultivar. It was developed from a seed from a Yabukita cultivar plant.

\n

Of course you should remember that the leaf is only one factor that affects the flavor of the final tea, but given the exact (which is impossible) same cultivation, processing, storage, and steeping conditions, this cultivar is known to have more theanine and amino acids (higher umami) while having less catechin (lower bitterness) than Yabukita. It also flushes about 4-5 days earlier than Yabukita.

\n

NOTES - Packaging may change for 2024. Cultivar is likely to remain Yama no Ibuki, but it also depends on the quality of the harvest.

A special, Limited Edition shincha from Shizuoka, this tea was handpicked for perfect leaf shape and quality, light steamed (asamushicha, again to preserve shape), and finally handrolled for 4-5 hours by master tea craftsman Komatsu Yukiya to create these perfect needles. An experience for all tea connoisseurs, expect a translucent yellow liquor, with feathery, dry, green notes that bring you into the spring tea fields and a lingering buttery aftertaste.

\n

Yama no Ibuki means “breath of the mountain” and is one less common cultivar. It was developed from a seed from a Yabukita cultivar plant.

\n

Of course you should remember that the leaf is only one factor that affects the flavor of the final tea, but given the exact (which is impossible) same cultivation, processing, storage, and steeping conditions, this cultivar is known to have more theanine and amino acids (higher umami) while having less catechin (lower bitterness) than Yabukita. It also flushes about 4-5 days earlier than Yabukita.

\n

NOTES - Packaging may change for 2024. Cultivar is likely to remain Yama no Ibuki, but it also depends on the quality of the harvest.

About Tea Farmer Murata Yuuya

\n

Murata-san is a 4th generation tea farmer, certified Japanese tea instructor, and father, based in Kikugawa, Shimada City, Shizuoka, Japan.

From one of Japan's organic tea pioneers comes a special premium shaded sencha or Kabuse Sencha. Shaded for two weeks for harvest, the deep pine-green leaf needles give a rich aroma of umami savoriness.

OUR STEEPING EXPERIENCE

Steeped at 40˚C/104˚F degrees for 3 minutes (3 grams of leaf, 80 ml of water), it creates a syrupy ambrosia that is to be enjoyed drop by drop.

We recommend you steep all the umami savoriness from the leaf at low temperatures, then you may proceed to steeping the refined astringency at hotter temperatures with larger amounts of water. (See our gyokuro steeping techniques)

The more standard Warm Water method is also recommended for a balance of umami and astringency (see the Steeping Notes tab).
