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.

Farm Introduction

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).

Only a very small amount of National Tea Competition level competition grade handrolled shincha is available, and it is made available after the competition in August, right at the time of the peak season for meteor showers - nagareboshi 流星 in Japanese.

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 craftsmen to create these perfect needles.
\n
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.

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

Expertly crafted to be more oxidized than withered green tea, but not nearly as oxidized as most oolongs, Bizenya's Master Tea Craftsman Keiichi Shimizu's Kohaku Platinum will take you on a journey of new aromatic sensations.
\n
This specific version is a single cultivar one, made from the rare okumukashi cultivar
\n
\n
Tasting Notes
\n
This tea is deliciously sweet; take a first sip, swallow, then breathe out slowly through you nose to taste the aroma of flowers in your throat. In comparison to the original Kohaku, Kohaku Platinum is a richer experience.
\n
\n
Award winning
\n
The Kohaku Platinum was winner of the Grand Prize in the 2019-2020 Japanese Tea Selection held in Paris. Check out the scenes from the competition and award ceremony here (in a mix of French and Japanese!). Shimizu-san appears at 0:59.
\n\n
\n
Production
\n
Kohaku is produced by withering (ichou 萎凋) hand-picked tea leaves from Shimizu-san's private tea garden to create the floral aroma. The secret of the aroma comes in part from the thicker leaves but also from the process of withering, in which the harvested tea leaves are carefully withered to enhance their scent.
\n
Harvested leaves are withered in the sun then withered further indoors
\n
The withered leaves are then pan fired using a method known as kamairi oolong tea manufacturing (釜炒り製烏龍茶製法) on specialized Taiwanese tea processing equipment. Finally, they are green roasted using the basket-firing method.
\n
Photos show pan-firing and rolling steps of production
\n
What’s different in the platinum version? The Kohaku Platinum tea leaves are all hand-picked at Shimizu-san’s own tea garden. Because the tea leaves are hand picked, you will find the tea leaves to be quite large - with thick tea leaves and long stems.
\nProduction notes: Hand-picked, grown without pesticides.
\n
\nNotes: In Japanese, Shimizu-san promotes this as a slightly oxidized tea that is neither green nor oolong. We have decided to use the term \"green oolong tea\". In addition, Bihakko 微発酵 literally means \"slightly fermented\" -- fermentation was thought to be the process of creating oolong and black teas in the past; we now know that the process is actually enzymatic oxidization like the browning of an apple after you slice it.

This specific version is a single cultivar one, made from the rare okumukashi cultivar
\n
\n
Tasting Notes
\n
This tea is deliciously sweet; take a first sip, swallow, then breathe out slowly through you nose to taste the aroma of flowers in your throat. In comparison to the original Kohaku, Kohaku Platinum is a richer experience.
\n
\n
Award winning
\n
The Kohaku Platinum was winner of the Grand Prize in the 2019-2020 Japanese Tea Selection held in Paris. Check out the scenes from the competition and award ceremony here (in a mix of French and Japanese!). Shimizu-san appears at 0:59.
\n\n
\n
Production
\n
Kohaku is produced by withering (ichou 萎凋) hand-picked tea leaves from Shimizu-san's private tea garden to create the floral aroma. The secret of the aroma comes in part from the thicker leaves but also from the process of withering, in which the harvested tea leaves are carefully withered to enhance their scent.
\n
Harvested leaves are withered in the sun then withered further indoors
\n
The withered leaves are then pan fired using a method known as kamairi oolong tea manufacturing (釜炒り製烏龍茶製法) on specialized Taiwanese tea processing equipment. Finally, they are green roasted using the basket-firing method.

\n
What’s different in the platinum version? The Kohaku Platinum tea leaves are all hand-picked at Shimizu-san’s own tea garden. Because the tea leaves are hand picked, you will find the tea leaves to be quite large - with thick tea leaves and long stems.
\nProduction notes: Hand-picked, grown without pesticides.
\n
\nNotes: In Japanese, Shimizu-san promotes this as a slightly oxidized tea that is neither green nor oolong. We have decided to use the term \"green oolong tea\". In addition, Bihakko 微発酵 literally means \"slightly fermented\" -- fermentation was thought to be the process of creating oolong and black teas in the past; we now know that the process is actually enzymatic oxidization like the browning of an apple after you slice it.
Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattu, this sencha was handpicked by Ayumi-san and a community of supporters from her fields in the mountains of Fujieda, Shizuoka. Just 10kg are picked turning into 2kg of leaf for an ultra micro production lot.
\n
This senchawas produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth. The soil of the tea bushes of this sencha are enriched with the solids discarded by a traditional local soy sauce maker, sake kasu (rice discarded after being fermented for sake), from a local brewery. Rice and wheat straw from their own farm are also placed between their tea bushes to further enrich the soil. Ayumi Farms is therefore placed within a beautiful cycle of regeneration - this is the key to a sustainable way of living. Through tea production, Ayumi Farms continues to contribute to the way agriculture has been deeply rooted in the region (i.e., Fujieda, Shizuoka prefecture).

Have you ever tried the very first hand-picked tea of the season? This is your opportunity to enjoy Bizenya’s first shincha from their organic tea plantations handpicked only once a year; Nogi-en (located in the famous Sayamacha region: Takahagi, Hidaka city, Saitama prefecture). This tea field is owned and cultivated by Bizenya, with cooperation from other producers / farmers for processing and other work.
\n
Originating from their April 18th morning Fukumidori cultivar harvest, this tea was then processed by award-winning tea farmer and producer Okutomi Masahiro. You are sure to experience a richness that can only be produced with Bizenya's hand-picked tea leaves!

Have you ever tried the very first hand-picked tea of the season? This is your opportunity to enjoy Bizenya’s first shincha from their organic tea plantations handpicked only once a year; Nogi-en (located in the famous Sayamacha region: Takahagi, Hidaka city, Saitama prefecture). This tea field is owned and cultivated by Bizenya, with cooperation from other producers / farmers for processing and other work.
\n
Originating from their April 18th morning Fukumidori cultivar harvest, this tea was then processed by award-winning tea farmer and producer Okutomi Masahiro. You are sure to experience a richness that can only be produced with Bizenya's hand-picked tea leaves!
