The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
\n
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their familyâs legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).Â
The women of Kiroku Tea Garden began experimenting with a unique roasting of their tencha tea leaves a few years ago (in cooperation with their roasting partner in Wazuka Village), and created this unique roastâa deep, double-roasting of their single cultivar okumidori spring tencha leaves that creates a sweetness in the tea when steeped.
\n
Tencha is the green tea leaf used to make matcha, and okumidori cultivar spring tencha is highly sought after for matcha. Most farmers would think it a waste to roast these leaves, but in the pursuit of innovation in tea, the Hori family sets aside a small amount each year for creating this sweet roast.

Following the harvest in the spring, tea leaves are immediately steamed before rolling and drying into sencha. During this initial steaming phase, by increasing the steaming time (40+ seconds), we create fukamushi or deep-steamed tea. This deep-steaming breaks down the cells in the leaf more than regular steaming allowing the flavor to be released more quickly and in greater amounts when steeping. This results in a deeper green, but more opaque tea with a strong flavor.
\n
Because mountain-grown tea leaves are more delicate than those grown on flatlands, we only increased the steaming by a little in order to create a unique balance between astringency (shibumi) and sweetness (amami), with hints of the soft young leaf buds.

Jasmine tea, known as 'sanpin-cha' in Okinawa, is popular for its Jasmine fragrance, and has been a mainstay of the islands since its days as the Ryukyu Kingdom hundreds of years ago. Originating with the trade between the Ryukyu Kingdom and China, the tea is an example of the mixture of Chinese and Japanese influence in the islands.
\n
Nakazen's sanpincha jasmine tea uses only high quality tea leaves grown in China. A semi-fermented tea leaves (20% fermentation) are scented with jasmine petals. Tea is classified into different types depending on the degree of fermentation, e.g., green tea (0%) and oolong tea (50-70%). Nakazen's Jasmine Tea is very lightly fermented like green tea.

The young leaf buds, having been prepared since the previous fall, are filled with nutrients stocked up by the plant over the long, cold winter. This produces the highest grade of tea leaf with an extra strong flavor. A blend of machine-cut trim of the youngest, topmost leaves, and leaves handpicked from a select number of the Kinezuka family and partners' best fields at the very beginning of the shincha season this is the youngest tea leaf you can find and therefore called Hashiri Shincha 走り新茶 — literally “run to get the new tea leaves”
Our recommend steeping method is to use water cooled to about 40˚C/105˚F steeped for 2-3 minutes for the best balance between sweetness and umami (savory) flavors.
\n
A more standard steeping method would be to use 3-5 grams steeping in 200 ml of water at 60C/140F for about 60 seconds. The second steep after that can be hotter water, poured in and out of your tea pot without waiting. A 3rd or 4th steep can use hotter water and a longer steep (30-60 seconds).
\n
Remember, hotter water yields more bitterness while cooler yields sweetness. Longer time / more leaves also increases the strength of the tea.
\n
The science: theanine amino acids are plentiful at the beginning of a leaf's lifespan. As the leaf is exposed to sunlight and photosynthesis occurs, catechin (an antioxidant) is produced giving an increasingly bitter flavor to the leaf. This tea, therefore, is rich in the theanine amino acids that produce sweet, savory flavors in the sencha.
\n
Tasting notes
\n
Wow! Steeped at about 60C/140F for about 60 seconds instead of the even lower temperature recommended above, the leaf produces a beautiful translucent yellow green color. The liquor is delicately sweet and refined with a notes of citrus in the slightly astringent aftertaste.

The young leaf buds, having been prepared since the previous fall, are filled with nutrients stocked up by the plant over the long, cold winter. This produces the highest grade of tea leaf with an extra strong flavor. A blend of machine-cut trim of the youngest, topmost leaves, and leaves handpicked from a select number of the Kinezuka family and partners' best fields at the very beginning of the shincha season this is the youngest tea leaf you can find and therefore called Hashiri Shincha 走り新茶 — literally “run to get the new tea leaves”
Our recommend steeping method is to use water cooled to about 40˚C/105˚F steeped for 2-3 minutes for the best balance between sweetness and umami (savory) flavors.
\n
A more standard steeping method would be to use 3-5 grams steeping in 200 ml of water at 60C/140F for about 60 seconds. The second steep after that can be hotter water, poured in and out of your tea pot without waiting. A 3rd or 4th steep can use hotter water and a longer steep (30-60 seconds).
\n
Remember, hotter water yields more bitterness while cooler yields sweetness. Longer time / more leaves also increases the strength of the tea.
\n
The science: theanine amino acids are plentiful at the beginning of a leaf's lifespan. As the leaf is exposed to sunlight and photosynthesis occurs, catechin (an antioxidant) is produced giving an increasingly bitter flavor to the leaf. This tea, therefore, is rich in the theanine amino acids that produce sweet, savory flavors in the sencha.
\n
Tasting notes
\n
Wow! Steeped at about 60C/140F for about 60 seconds instead of the even lower temperature recommended above, the leaf produces a beautiful translucent yellow green color. The liquor is delicately sweet and refined with a notes of citrus in the slightly astringent aftertaste.

Using Japan-grown toasted rice from Shizuoka Prefecture and May-harvested spring ichibancha, this organic genmaicha from the Kinezuka family is a bit of luxury for a reasonable price. One is sure to be pleased with the well-balanced roastiness of the rice (don't forget to enjoy the toasty aroma!) along with the fresh and grassy flavor from the green tea. Rich in Vitamin B1 as well, we recommend NaturaliTea's Genmaicha for those with active lifestyles. Because of the accessibility of genmaicha, this tea is also a perfect gift for someone who is just getting into Japanese tea.
NaturaliTea is a private cooperative of farmers managed by the Kinezuka family, whose own tea fields produce over 20% of the cooperative's teas. Based in the hills of Fujieda, Shizuoka, the cooperative was established nearly 40 years ago by Toshiaki Kinezuka. Farmers in the cooperative develop techniques together to grow tea, rice, and vegetables without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.

If you have travelled to Kyoto, Japan, you may have come across this Onomiyasu Koyocha (or Kouyoucha) as you visited Buddhist temples such as Ryoanji, and places of accommodation.
\n
Indeed, the Kyoto Kouyoucha has been the number 1 product sold annually in Kyoto. This matcha blend includes matcha from Kyoto, powdered shiso (perilla leaves), ume (Japanese plum), and konbu (kelp seaweed) which together creates a savory, mellow, and salty combination that is sure to help bring you to enlightenment.
\n
In Japan, kombu (kelp/seaweed) is an essential aspect of the Japanese cuisine. The konbu is dried, then it is often cut into small pieces or crushed into a powder. Konbu is often utilized in celebratory occasions to symbolize felicity. This is because the sound 'konbu' is similar to the word 'yorokobu' which means 'to rejoice' in Japanese. Because the ingredients of this tea are often utilized in Japanese cuisine, you can also experiment using this tea in your cuisine as flavoring or to make ochazuke. Enjoy!

Azuma Tea Garden's unique product, Hojicha powder, is made by roasting the tencha (not sencha), type of tea used to make matcha. After roasting the tencha, it is processed into powder, just like matcha. Most hojicha powder is made from hojicha (roasted rolled leaves usually from large bancha leaves).
\n
The rich, roasty flavor can be enjoyed for simply drinking it as hojicha, or can be used as a flavoring when making cake, ice cream, or other sweets.
\n
Uses 100% Wazuka (Kyoto) grown tea. No artificial coloring, preservative, or chemical additives.
\n
Instructions
\n
Tea: 2g (about 1 tsp). Water: 90C/194F, 200 ml. Also good for baking, or mix hot milk in for a latte.

For cold steeping, use 1 teaspoon per liter of water.
\n
We also recommend that you use a small amount of water and mix with the powder into paste first to get rid of clumps.

About the Tea Farmer \n
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable container should keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n

Cultivars are \"cultivated varieties\" identified for specific characteristics and propagated by cuttings to create a field of the same plant DNA. The samidori cultivar is a tencha specific cultivar and is a traditional Kyoto matcha variety. It is a perfect matcha for connoisseurs looking for a brilliant and bright color that is rich in mellowness and creaminess. This matcha comes from 100% Wazuka Village (Kyoto Prefecture) grown tea. No artificial coloring, preservative, or chemical additives.

Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable container should keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n
We don’t recommend storing in the refrigerator unless you are experienced in storing matcha. Odors from other foods in the refrigerator may seep in and contaminate the matcha, and condensation when removing the bag from storage may damage the matcha.
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.
\n
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!
\n
\n
Steeping notes
\n
We find that this tea is so delicate, you can have a lot of fun steeping it like a gyokuro.
2nd steeping - Time: 20 sec. Water: 90C/194F, 200 ml.
\n
3rd steeping - Time: 60 sec. Water: 90C/194F, 200 ml.
\n
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.
Steaming: A long chumushi (regular) but not quite fukamushi (deep steamed) creating leaf that is largely powdery but retains some shape and a tea liquor that is deep green and opaque when steeped at a hot temperature.

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!

Steeping notes
\n
We find that this tea is so delicate, you can have a lot of fun steeping it like a gyokuro.
2nd steeping - Time: 20 sec. Water: 90C/194F, 200 ml.
\n
3rd steeping - Time: 60 sec. Water: 90C/194F, 200 ml.
\n
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.
Steaming: A long chumushi (regular) but not quite fukamushi (deep steamed) creating leaf that is largely powdery but retains some shape and a tea liquor that is deep green and opaque when steeped at a hot temperature.

A set of pure matcha green tea powders in ten different cultivars. Variations between teas can occur due to cultivars but also due to weather, terrain, region, a farmer's cultivation techniques including soil development, fertilizing, etc, and as a result of different processing and grinding.
\n
However, by comparing products by the same farmer, we can eliminate at least some of this variation, allowing you to taste the difference in cultivars as accurately as possible. Azuma-san's farm is a fully vertically integrated operation, managing their own fields, initial tencha processing, finishing, and most recently their own stone mill grinding.
\n
Even then, there will always be variation also from year to year for any specific cultivar. Please keep this in mind as you taste and compare cultivars.
\n
The processing of each cultivar is the same according to Azuma-san, and yes, the matcha does change in flavor as time passes from month to month, but since they were all processed and ground at the same time in the same way, the differences in flavor will be mainly the differences in the cultivar.
\n
Also, if you look really carefully at the photos, you might see some non-powder items...those are leaf veins. The samples for photography were made using tencha refined by hand, so are a little more rough. What you'll see in the set when it arrives will have been refined using a photoelectric sorter (the leaf has a darker color than the stems and veins), so the color and texture will be better than what I tasted in the samples.
\n
What is a Cultivar?
\n
A cultivar is a cultivated variety; a tea plant that has been selected for certain characteristics and propagated not by seed but by cuttings so that the entire field / production lot has the same characteristics. Each plant in the field will have the same DNA as others.
\n
Still working on the below descriptions....for those who buy the set, would love to see your own tasting notes in the review!
\n
\n
\nASAHI - A cultivar originally selected from Uji seed grown plants (zairai) on Hirano Jinojo's farm in 1953, the leaves grow thin and wide making it perfect for tencha with a bright green color and a creamy flavor profile. The crop yield is low compared to Yabukita, and the best timing for picking is short, making it a relatively more expensive cultivar. Asahi is perhaps the most highly valued cultiar for tencha and is often used by farmers submitting their tencha leaves to competitions.
\n
\nGOKOU - Another tea cultivar registered in 1953 in Kyoto, gokou is also known for its sweet, milky profile due to a high level of umami, and used for both tencha and gyokuro production.
\n
\nKANAYA MIDORI - Created from Yabukita and a unnamed cultivar called \"S6\" and registered in 1970, this cultivar has been said to have a more milky characteristic. Tasting notes: My tasting of this was sweet but also a bit toasty, with a deep green color
\n
\nOKUMIDORI - The okumidori cultivar is rich in chlorophyll creating a very deep green color, and is used across all teas from sencha to gyokuro to of course tencha for matcha. Tasting notes: sweet, bright green color.
\n
\nOKUYUTAKA - While this cultivar registered in 1983 has a great flavor profile, the young plants tend to be weak, and crop yield low, so has not become as popular among farms as some other cultivars.
\n
\nSAEMIDORI - This cultivar has become very popular recently for gyokuro due to its light, bright green color and sweet, umami-rich profile. As a matcha, the color may be a little too light, but the difference is subtle.
\n
\nSAMIDORI - The samidori cultivar is a tencha specific cultivar, with a bright color and rich umami flavor perfect for matcha. It is probably the cultivar most commonly used for handpicked tencha since as a late flushing cultivar, the harvest period is longer.
\n
\nUJI MIDORI - This cultivar was selected from a single zairai plant (grown from seed) in Uji in 1985. Rarely grown outside of the Kyoto region, it is also a rare plant within Kyoto and mainly used for high grade tencha and gyokuro.
\n
\nYABUKITA- Identified in 1908 by Sugiyama Hikosaburo in Shizuoka, and officially registered in 1953, the yabukita cultivar is the most common tea plant cultivar used in approximately 75% of the tea fields in Japan. As such, it is the standard by which many other tea cultivars are measured in both harvest timing as well as flavor profile. The balanced flavor of the leaves makes it popular for sencha, but it provides a weaker umami taste and its green color is duller, so is not usually used for matcha as a result.
\n
\nYAMATO MIDORI - First grown in 1924 at what is now the Yamato Tea Research Center, and taken from seed-grown plant from the farm of Fukui Kanjiro, this is the only cultivar that originates from Nara. It was registered officially in 1953, and its name comes from the ancient name for the region, Yamato, which is also synonym for the country of Japan since the first emperors of Japan where based in this area. Yamato Midori (midori means \"green\") is a late flushing plant generally harvested 10 days after Yabukita making it more resistant to the colder air of early spring. It has a well-balanced flavor profile.
The Azuma family specializes in growing tencha, the leaves used for creating matcha. In the process of certifying tea fields as organic, they shifting cultivation of their fields to pesticide free practices.
\n
Based in Wazuka, Kyoto, Japan, the family has also recently built their own matcha grinding factory becoming fully vertically integrated as a producer.

Kinezuka family traveled frequently to Sri Lanka to study techniques, incorporating and combining them with their knowledge of Japanese Yabukita tea plants to create Setoya Momiji. What they are aiming for is a mellow, naturally sweet tea without astringency that tastes amazing without mixing sugar or milk.
\n
Setoya is the name given to the area in Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where many of our fields are located.
\n
Momiji is the name for Japanese maple, a beautiful tree with delicate leaves that turn bright red and orange during the fall.

Steeping Notes
\n
Consider also cold steeping or ice steeping (seeSteeping 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.
3rd steeping - Increase time to 30-60 seconds or to desired strength.

Steeping Notes
\n
Consider also cold steeping or ice steeping (seeSteeping 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.
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).

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).

\nName: Okumidori Matcha

\nIngredients: Green Tea
\n
\nCultivar: Okumidori

\nNotes: Grown pesticide-free, but not yet certified organic.
Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable containershould keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n
We don’t recommend storing in the refrigerator unless you are experienced in storing matcha. Odors from other foods in the refrigerator may seep in and contaminate the matcha, and condensation when removing the bag from storage may damage the matcha.

\nName: Okumidori Matcha
\n
\nIngredients: Green Tea
\n
\nCultivar: Okumidori
\n
\nNotes: Grown pesticide-free, but not yet certified organic.
Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable containershould keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n
We don’t recommend storing in the refrigerator unless you are experienced in storing matcha. Odors from other foods in the refrigerator may seep in and contaminate the matcha, and condensation when removing the bag from storage may damage the matcha.
Grown by the Kinezuka family in the hills of Fujieda, Shizuoka, and shaded for 3-4 weeks, NaturaliTea’s matcha is a great option for those looking for a balanced matcha at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

NaturaliTea is a private cooperative of farmers managed by the Kinezuka family, whose own tea fields produce over 20% of the cooperative's teas. Based in the hills of Fujieda, Shizuoka, the cooperative was established nearly 40 years ago by Toshiaki Kinezuka. Farmers in the cooperative develop techniques together to grow tea, rice, and vegetables without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
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.

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.
3rd steeping - Increasetimeto 30-60 seconds or to desired strength.

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.

Product Info
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nHarvest: May
\n
\nSteaming: Fukamushi, deep steamed
\n
\n

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.
3rd steeping - Increasetimeto 30-60 seconds or to desired strength.

Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattu, this 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.

\nNotes: No pesticides used prior to harvest, synthetic fertilizers used.
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
\n
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).

Tencha farmer from Wazuka, Kyoto—Hori-san and her daughter (unfortunately, our friend, daughter Megumi, passed away in 2023)—bring you a small batch (only 1-2 dozen kg harvested) matcha made from a new and still rare cultivar called Asanoka.
\n
The Asanoka cultivar was registered in Kagoshima in 1996, and was made from a cross between the common Yabukita cultivar and a Chinese cultivar registered as Hiramizu #1. As a matcha, it will be refreshing with strong umami flavor and sweet notes.

The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
\n
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).
Nakazen's 18 Herbs for Longevity blends 18 selected high quality herbs. The main ingredients (the foundation of this herbal blend) are barley and job's tears, making it an easy-to-drink tea that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. This is a tea that is very kind and gentle to the body, providing \"Nuchigusui\" (Okinawan saying) to those that drink the tea with a sense of tranquility. Please enjoy this tea on a day-to-day basis.
\n
*Note: Nuchigusui (ぬちぐすい)is a saying that belongs to the daily lives of people living in Okinawa and can be directly translated to mean, \"life medicine\". The significance is more expansive and can refer to the satisfaction felt after eating a good meal, experiencing something that makes one feel lighter, and feeling peace with oneself.

Fukamushi sencha from Chiran, Kagoshima Prefecture. Fukamushi is a special method of processing sencha tea leaves that involves an extended steaming time.

This transforms the flavor from a clean, smooth tasting tea, to a tea that is thick and strong in flavor for the amount and quality level of the leaf itself.

Organic tea farmer Yoshimitsu Masuda's best sencha, Daichi no Meicha 大地の命茶 (\"Tea [made from] the life of the earth\"), is a deep-steamed sencha or fukamushicha that produces a deep green tea with a rich umami flavor. The leaves for this level are picked while they are still very young in spring...while \"shincha\" or new tea is used broadly in the tea industry to mean any first flush tea that has just been harvested, Daichi no Meicha, Imperial Grade, is truly new leaf.

Farmer Info
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

Organic tea farmer Yoshimitsu Masuda's best sencha, Daichi no Meicha 大地の命茶 (\"Tea [made from] the life of the earth\"), is a deep-steamed sencha or fukamushicha that produces a deep green tea with a rich umami flavor. The leaves for this level are picked while they are still very young in spring...while \"shincha\" or new tea is used broadly in the tea industry to mean any first flush tea that has just been harvested, Daichi no Meicha, Imperial Grade, is truly new leaf.

Farmer Info
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.
Azuma Tea Garden is a family-operated, fourth generation farm specializing in tencha tea leaf cultivation and processing (see below). This all-purpose matcha is a culinary grade matcha from the beautiful tea fields of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture. A finely grounded, spring harvested matcha, this matcha can be widely used to make delights such as matcha tiramisu, matcha cookies, and matcha lattes… (We would love to hear other ideas!) And yes, it is all-purpose, you can simply enjoy it straight as a matcha!
\n
Note that culinary matcha has unfortunately received a bad reputation because in the mass market, the term “culinary” is often used to refer to poorly processed matcha. However, that is not the case! This culinary matcha comes from Azuma Gardens and may be the perfect matcha powder for you if you are looking to use it to bake, or to add it into your drink. If you are looking for a more affordable culinary matcha solely for baking, please take a look at the Azuma Garden's cooking culinary matcha.

Bancha also has relatively more catechin (compared to other nutrients) due to its long exposure to sunlight. Because it has less caffeine in comparison to a sencha, it can be enjoyed by children and seniors. \n

This mountain-grown bancha from the Kinezuka family when compared to a sencha has less sweetness and a stronger astringency but will please you with its refreshing aroma and taste. Bancha also has relatively more catechin (compared to other nutrients) due to its long exposure to sunlight. Because it has less caffeine in comparison to a sencha, it can be enjoyed by children and seniors. \n

Imari-cha grown in the heart of mountains in Imari, Saga Prefecture in Kyushu. Produced as tamaryokucha, a type of green tea that is processed like sencha but omits the last rolling step that straightens the leaves. This produces a leaf that is slightly curled.
\n
Imperial Imari Sencha - Sachi no Kiwami 幸の極み is a type of kabusecha in which the new buds are shaded with double shades, cutting the sunlight to retain L-theanine and reduce catechins. As a result, the tea becomes rich in umami with natural sweetness in taste.

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.

The Azuma family has selected two cultivars from their pesticide free, shaded gardens to create a balanced, delicious blend. While not as umami rich as conventionally grown leaf using artificial fertilizers and pesticides, the Yabukita and Gokou cultivar blend creates a naturally complex flavor profile.
Jasmine tea, known as 'sanpin-cha' in Okinawa, is popular for its Jasmine fragrance, and has been a mainstay of the islands since its days as the Ryukyu Kingdom hundreds of years ago. Originating with the trade between the Ryukyu Kingdom and China, the tea is an example of the mixture of Chinese and Japanese influence in the islands.
\n
Nakazen's sanpincha jasmine tea uses only high quality tea leaves grown in China. A semi-fermented tea leaves (20% fermentation) are scented with jasmine petals. Tea is classified into different types depending on the degree of fermentation, e.g., green tea (0%) and oolong tea (50-70%). Nakazen's Jasmine Tea is very lightly fermented like green tea.

This superior hojicha from the NaturaliTea cooperative in Fujieda, Shizuoka was made by carefully roasting ichibancha (first harvest) leaves in May at a high temperature. Compared to hojicha that is made from summer or autumn leaves, this hojicha can be characterised as mild, with a rich and elegant flavor. The aroma when you open the bag is a delicious chocolate.
\n
Please indulge in the mellow aftertaste filled with rich toasty sweetness. To bring out the roasty aroma, please steep at a higher temperature.

NOTE: if sold out, please see the non-certified organic Okumidori matcha - Kanoyama - from Azuma Tea.
\n
Okumidori Matcha is a vivid green Uji matcha made from the tea plant cultivar okumidori. Cultivars are \"cultivated varieties\" identified for specific characteristics and propagated by cuttings to create a field of the same plant DNA. The okumidori cultivar is known for having a strong taste and aroma.
\n
ORGANIC CERTIFICATION: While all of Azuma-san's products are cultivated without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers, not all fields have been certified as organic under Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS). Some fields are simply in the multi-year process, and some may not qualify due to their proximity to non-organic tea fields (for example). This particular matcha is made specifically from a certified organic tea field—a different one than the okumidori used in Azuma's Kanoyama Matcha. Please remember that the final product must also be certified organic, and resellers / wholesale buyers need to abide by their own country's organic regulations to import and resell this as an organic product.
\n
Uses 100 % Wazuka (Kyoto) grown tea. No artificial coloring, preservative, or chemical additives.
\n\n

Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable containershould keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n
We don’t recommend storing in the refrigerator unless you are experienced in storing matcha. Odors from other foods in the refrigerator may seep in and contaminate the matcha, and condensation when removing the bag from storage may damage the matcha.

NOTE: if sold out, please see the non-certified organic Okumidori matcha - Kanoyama - from Azuma Tea.
\n
Okumidori Matcha is a vivid green Uji matcha made from the tea plant cultivar okumidori. Cultivars are \"cultivated varieties\" identified for specific characteristics and propagated by cuttings to create a field of the same plant DNA. The okumidori cultivar is known for having a strong taste and aroma.
\n
ORGANIC CERTIFICATION: While all of Azuma-san's products are cultivated without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers, not all fields have been certified as organic under Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS). Some fields are simply in the multi-year process, and some may not qualify due to their proximity to non-organic tea fields (for example). This particular matcha is made specifically from a certified organic tea field—a different one than the okumidori used in Azuma's Kanoyama Matcha. Please remember that the final product must also be certified organic, and resellers / wholesale buyers need to abide by their own country's organic regulations to import and resell this as an organic product.
\n
Uses 100 % Wazuka (Kyoto) grown tea. No artificial coloring, preservative, or chemical additives.
\n\n
To discover a little bit more about Matcha Grades, please refer Yunomi Matcha Grades.
Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable containershould keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n
We don’t recommend storing in the refrigerator unless you are experienced in storing matcha. Odors from other foods in the refrigerator may seep in and contaminate the matcha, and condensation when removing the bag from storage may damage the matcha.

\n
\nName: Okumidori Matcha
\n
\nIngredients: Green Tea
\n
\nCultivar: Gokou
\n
\nNotes: Grown without pesticides but not certified organic
Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable container should keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n
We don’t recommend storing in the refrigerator unless you are experienced in storing matcha. Odors from other foods in the refrigerator may seep in and contaminate the matcha, and condensation when removing the bag from storage may damage the matcha.

The asahi cultivar was developed in Kyoto and is well known for providing leaves that create the highest grade of matcha. However, the cultivar is also notoriously difficult to grow, and so does not always produce very high quality especially when cultivating without use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

NOTE: Please note that stone mill grinding at the farm is backlogged, and while we have production orders in place, orders are fulfilled on a first-come / first-served, so your order may need to wait for follow up production, and that may possibly take 1-2 months.
\n
The asahi cultivar was developed in Kyoto and is well known for providing leaves that create the highest grade of matcha. However, the cultivar is also notoriously difficult to grow, and so does not always produce very high quality especially when cultivating without use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
\n
Uses 100 % Wazuka (Kyoto) grown tea. No artificial coloring, preservative, or chemical additives.

Product Info
\n
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green Tea \n
\n
\nCultivar: Asahi
\n
\nNotes: Grown without pesticides but not certified organic
Azuma Tea Garden is a family-owned tea farm specializing in matcha products: They are tencha farmers, cultivating leaves that are shaded then processed in the family's factory: steamed, dried without rolling, and refined into even flakes for grinding. These tencha leaves are then, ground into matcha tea powder in the family's new factory that includes both stone mill grinders and a jet air pulverization machine for large scale culinary matcha production. The processing factory for tencha and sencha were once part of a large cooperative, but the family is the only remaining member of the cooperative. Azuma Teruko, originally from China, married into the family after visiting the village and falling in love with her husband. She is now face of the farm, and is helping to convert tea fields from relatives and retiring farmer friends into organic cultivation.
\n
Matcha usage, storage, and quality preservation
\n
Storing in a cool, dry location away from sunlight (25C/75F degrees or lower, constant temperature environment) in the resealable container should keep the matcha at optimum quality for 1-2 months. The more frequently you open the bag to use your matcha, the faster quality will degrade, but you’ll also be consuming it faster as well. After 1-2 months, the matcha will begin to degrade gradually in color and aroma first, and flavor later.
\n
We don’t recommend storing in the refrigerator unless you are experienced in storing matcha. Odors from other foods in the refrigerator may seep in and contaminate the matcha, and condensation when removing the bag from storage may damage the matcha.
Chasandai's sobacha is made from roasted buckwheat grains grown in Japan. The roasted nutty flavor is a favorite with Japanese, and commonly found in Japanese restaurants. Because it is caffeine-free, it is recommended to be drank at any time of the day. You can drink the tea, then use the steeped buckwheat as a topping on ice cream, an ingredient in your cookies, or add it when cooking rice! A wonderful tea to have especially in the autumn-winter months.

The women of Kiroku Tea Garden began experimenting with a unique roasting of their tencha tea leaves a few years ago (in cooperation with their roasting partner in Wazuka Village), and created this unique roast—a deep, double-roasting of their single cultivar okumidori spring tencha leaves that creates a sweetness in the tea when steeped.
Tencha is the green tea leaf used to make matcha, and okumidori cultivar spring tencha is highly sought after for matcha. Most farmers would think it a waste to roast these leaves, but in the pursuit of innovation in tea, the Hori family sets aside a small amount each year for creating this sweet roast.
Notes: Roasted. No pesticides used prior to harvest, synthetic fertilizers used.
Region: Wazuka Village, Kyoto Prefecture
Steeping Recommendation
Tea: 5 grams.Time: 1 min.Water: 80C/178F, 200 ml. Resteep up to 6 times.
About the Garden
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).
