Farm Introduction
\n
\n
According to Hiroki Murakami, who will become the farm's 4th generation master, the family doesn't know exactly when they started farming tea, though his great-grandfather was the one who built their first processing factory in the late 19th century.
\n
Based in the Yoshiwara district, a mountainous region famous for its sea of clouds within the municipality of Shizuoka City, the family produces about 2 tons of tea altogether per year (first and second flushes).
\n
Murakami-san began producing black tea just a few years ago but has been winning awards in Japan for his production.

Renowned tea master and farmer Uejima Noriyasu in the famous tea producing region of Wazuka Village, Kyoto Prefecture, has crafted this single cultivar (single estate & single field) sencha available only at the start of the year in spring. It is considered shincha, meaning \"new tea\", for a few months following harvest, and being sold on Yunomi.life while supplies last.
Noriyasu Uejima is a hard working and humble tea master. In the 90+ year old tea tasting competition held in Kyoto, he is the only winner to ever achieve a perfect score. Cultivating and processing some of Kyoto's finest teas, the Ritz Carlton Hotel of Kyoto features his teas in their line up for guests.

Renowned tea master and farmer Uejima Noriyasu in the famous tea producing region of Wazuka Village, Kyoto Prefecture, has crafted this single cultivar (single estate & single field) sencha available only at the start of the year in spring. It is considered shincha, meaning \"new tea\", for a few months following harvest, and being sold on Yunomi.life while supplies last.
Noriyasu Uejima is a hard working and humble tea master. In the 90+ year old tea tasting competition held in Kyoto, he is the only winner to ever achieve a perfect score. Cultivating and processing some of Kyoto's finest teas, the Ritz Carlton Hotel of Kyoto features his teas in their line up for guests. He is the 5th generation master farmer carrying on a tradition that dates back to the mid-19th century when his ancestor started the Uejima family as a branch family of an even older main family. The farm also operates the Wazuka Village's Wazuka Cha Cafe.
Komatsu Naomi of Kanes Tea Factory always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of Yunomi.life.
\n
Working closely with their partner farm in Shizuoka bringing knowledge from researchers, Kanes Tea and their partner has achieved a very high level of GABA in this oolong tea.
\n
GABA, or more specifically \"ϒ-aminobutyric acid\", is a component in tea created when it the leaf is incubated in nitrogen gas (an oxygen free or anaerobic environment).
\n
This process is often referred to as \"fermentation\", but the term implies a change due to yeast or bacteria, while the specific process of creating the tea depends on the producer. At Kanes, they are not fermenting but wilting the leaves in a proprietary process to create this extra high level of GABA.
\n
Many people claim this compound has health benefits, but we always stress here at Yunomi.life that this is unproven and may depend on each individual's body.

Working closely with their partner farm in Shizuoka bringing knowledge from researchers, Kanes Tea and their partner has achieved a very high level of GABA in this oolong tea.
\n
GABA, or more specifically \"ϒ-aminobutyric acid\", is a component in tea created when it the leaf is incubated in nitrogen gas (an oxygen free or anaerobic environment).
\n
This process is often referred to as \"fermentation\", but the term implies a change due to yeast or bacteria, while the specific process of creating the tea depends on the producer. At Kanes, they are not fermenting but wilting the leaves in a proprietary process to create this extra high level of GABA.
\n
Many people claim this compound has health benefits, but we always stress here at Yunomi.life that this is unproven and may depend on each individual's body.

About the Garden
\n
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).

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

\n
Steeping notes
\n
Tea: 2-3 grams. Time: 1-2 min. Water: 50C/122F, 30 ml.
\n
The 2nd steeping may use hotter water, steeping for 10-15 seconds. I prefer 70C/158F and 200 ml of water. Subsequent steepings may require more time - generally 60 seconds. A final steeping can be of cold water, 500 ml, and left in the refrigerator overnight for a light, refreshing iced tea the next morning.
\n
Alternatively, steep it under ice, allowing the ice to steep the tea leaf as it melts.
\nShading: About 5 days under honzu (traditional straw canopy)

Steeping notes
\n
Tea: 2-3 grams. Time: 1-2 min. Water: 50C/122F, 30 ml.
\n
The 2nd steeping may use hotter water, steeping for 10-15 seconds. I prefer 70C/158F and 200 ml of water. Subsequent steepings may require more time - generally 60 seconds. A final steeping can be of cold water, 500 ml, and left in the refrigerator overnight for a light, refreshing iced tea the next morning.
\n
Alternatively, steep it under ice, allowing the ice to steep the tea leaf as it melts.
To make gyokuro, tea bushes are shaded directly for about 3 weeks cutting out the sunlight increasing umami flavor and decreasing bitterness. The leaves are then harvested by machine and processed using sencha processing methods--steaming, rolling, and drying.
\n
Finally, during the finishing process, stems of the leaves are separated. This makes a karigane, or high grade stem tea, called \"shira-ore\" in the Kyushu region. The stems tend to have less flavor overall, but also less bitterness and more sweetness.
\n
To steep this tea, prepare your hot water (or cool off to) 50 ℃ so that the tea leaves are soaked and wait for 2 minutes. Please enjoy the traditional taste and aroma that spreads in your mouth.

To make gyokuro, tea bushes are shaded directly for about 3 weeks cutting out the sunlight increasing umami flavor and decreasing bitterness. The leaves are then harvested by machine and processed using sencha processing methods--steaming, rolling, and drying.
\n
Finally, during the finishing process, stems of the leaves are separated. This makes a karigane, or high grade stem tea, called \"shira-ore\" in the Kyushu region. The stems tend to have less flavor overall, but also less bitterness and more sweetness.
\n
To steep this tea, prepare your hot water (or cool off to) 50 ℃ so that the tea leaves are soaked and wait for 2 minutes. Please enjoy the traditional taste and aroma that spreads in your mouth.

"},{"id":6702507851881,"title":"#0638.K6 Shogyokuen: Tencha Green Tea Leaves Yabukita Single Cultivar","handle":"shogyokuen-tencha-green-tea-leaves-yabukita","description":"
Tencha is the name of the leaf used to make matcha. It is generally made by shading to prevent the leaf from becoming bitter (reducing sunlight prevents catechin from building up as the leaf grows), then steaming, drying without rolling, and finally refining into flakes.
\n
The Yabukita cultivar is the most common cultivar grown in Japan because it is a perfect balance between ease of cultivation and flavor (for sencha). It has become the standard in Japan as a result. However, the cultivar does not produce the greenest color, nor the sweetest flavor as tencha / matcha, so is often used for lower grade matcha (culinary and lower grade ceremonial).
\n
Grade: This particular would like be ground into a Standard Ceremonial Grade matcha if made commercially.
\n
You can enjoy this tencha as a tea, or attempt to grind it yourself. Note that commercial level stone mills as well as pulverization machines can create very fine grain matcha powder (5 microns at the highest quality, 15-25 microns for lower quality matcha). Grinding on your own with a handheld grinder or even a coffee grinder will probably not reach the higher quality levels, but 20-30 microns may be possible depending on your grinder.
\n

\n
Steeping recommendation as tea \n
\n
There is no one recommended method to steep tencha since it's not commonly consumed as tea, but we recommend you start with standard sencha steeping and then adjust the parameters to preference: 3 grams of tencha, steeped for 2 minutes in 200 ml of 70C/160F degree water.
\n
Use hotter temperature to extract more astringency and bitterness, cooler temperature for more sweetness. Use more leaves or less water for stronger flavor.
\n
Cold steeping: I also recommend cold steeping 5g / 500 ml of water in the refrigerator overnight: 8-12 hours.

Young tea farmer Yuki Kayashita learned kancha making from tea farmers in the mountains of Asuke Village, Aichi Prefecture. It is an earthy and mellow tea that can be enjoyed by all; from children to the elderly. Today, it is an extremely rare tea that few producers adopt, originally made in regions such as Asuke village, Aichi Prefecture and Shishikui village, Tokushima Prefecture. You can also simply enjoy the appearance of the leaves themselves. This tea lends itself to long term aging, changing little over time.
\n
Kancha Processing
\n
Kancha is made from large mature tea leaves harvested during daikan（大寒）, the coldest time of the year. At Tea Farm Mitocha, the harvest occurs from December to February.
\n\n
Both the tea leaves and stems are harvested. The leaves and stems are boiled in a large wooden barrel and steamed for about an hour.
\n
After steaming, the leaves are easily separated and removed from their branches.
\n
The leaves are then sun-dried (i.e., laid out to be dried in the cold, dry winter air and sun).
Flavor notes from these parameters: smooth, feathery, buttery, sweet, earthy

\n
Young tea farmer Yuki Kayashita learned kancha making from tea farmers in the mountains of Asuke Village, Aichi Prefecture. It is an earthy and mellow tea that can be enjoyed by all; from children to the elderly. Today, it is an extremely rare tea that few producers adopt, originally made in regions such as Asuke village, Aichi Prefecture and Shishikui village, Tokushima Prefecture. You can also simply enjoy the appearance of the leaves themselves. This tea lends itself to long term aging, changing little over time.
\n
Kancha Processing
\n
Kancha is made from large mature tea leaves harvested during daikan（大寒）, the coldest time of the year. At Tea Farm Mitocha, the harvest occurs from December to February.
\n\n
Both the tea leaves and stems are harvested. The leaves and stems are boiled in a large wooden barrel and steamed for about an hour.
\n
After steaming, the leaves are easily separated and removed from their branches.
\n
The leaves are then sun-dried (i.e., laid out to be dried in the cold, dry winter air and sun).
Produced using late first flush spring leaves harvested in June after the May first flush harvest. In other regions, this late first flush harvest is called Oyako Bancha.
\n
Oxidization in the leaves are then stopped using the pan-fired (kamairi) method of processing, the leaves are rolled, dried in a greenhouse under the sunlight. And finally, the tea is roasted.
\n
This tea processing method is a folk tea called Kumano Bancha 熊野晩茶 in the Kumano region of Wakayama Prefecture, which Mitocha is attempting to preserve.. It was used to make rice porridge to be eaten with pickled vegetables and dried foods, and drunk as an every day tea. It also ages well according to the Mitocha.
Cultivated without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers
