Farm Introduction
\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
Their leaves are mostly processed as a near-fukamushi (deep steamed), a steaming technique that creates a tea that has fukashimicha's deep, opaque green color and sweetness, but while also retaining much of the leaf's shape.
Roasted Tencha Stems, in Japanese: Tenbone Houjicha (てん骨ほうじ茶) is made from the small amount of stems and veins of removed from Tencha(てん茶) during refinement while larger branch stems are made into Obubu's Suzume Hojicha. Tencha are the high grade unrolled tea leaves used to make matcha tea powder. Because you drink the entire leaf when you drink matcha, the leaves used for matcha tea powder need to be as sweet as possible. So when Tencha is created, Akky covers the tea plants for up to four weeks to reduce the amount of catechin (which creates bitterness) as much as possible.
\n
In the process of making matcha, the dried, unrolled tencha tea leaves are then separated into two groups, soft and tough parts. The tough parts are the stems and veins and they are called tenbone (tencha no hone, the bones of tencha).
\n
Akky has taken these bones of the tencha and lightly roasted them to produce a mild yet luxurious flavor. Enjoy the elegance of Tenbone Houjicha and all its sweetness and aroma!

Since 2011, Masami Ishizaki has operated the small non-profit, Ashigaracha Labo, dedicated to educating consumers about Japanese tea, and tea from the Ashigara region in particular (Cities of Minami Ashigara and Odawara where Yunomi is based).
\n
For the last several years she has also been renting tea fields from the region's aging tea farmers to try her hand at tea cultivation. She has been at the current location in Ogikubo, Odawara, and is cultivating Yabukita tea leaves without the use of pesticides with her son and the NPO's supporters.

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.

The above info are relative estimations based on cultivation and processing methods, not laboratory testing. They may also be affected by the steeping technique used, by storage conditions, etc.
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.

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.

"},{"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.

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
Their leaves are mostly processed as a near-fukamushi (deep steamed), a steaming technique that creates a tea that has fukashimicha's deep, opaque green color and sweetness, but while also retaining much of the leaf's shape.
\nProduction capacity: About 1300 kg per year. The family only harvests the spring first flush harvest.

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
Their leaves are mostly processed as a near-fukamushi (deep steamed), a steaming technique that creates a tea that has fukashimicha's deep, opaque green color and sweetness, but while also retaining much of the leaf's shape.

New tea farmer Yancy Lever revived abandoned yabukita tea fields that had been growing wildly for a couple of years, and began harvesting from it in 2019 under the direction of a veteran farmer. Processing occurs at his teacher's factory, and he is learning to process tea as well. Yancy's standard sencha is an everyday tea that also has the stems included.

Yancy Lever is an American farming tea, yuzu citrus, soba (buckwheat) and other vegetables in the beautiful mountains of Otoyo Village, Kochi, and neighboring Aruse Village, Tokushima, Japan. He began tea farming just 2 years ago, after falling in love with and marrying his wife Azusa who is from Otoyo Village.
\n

New tea farmer Yancy Lever revived abandoned yabukita tea fields that had been growing wildly for a couple of years, and began harvesting from it in 2019 under the direction of a veteran farmer. Processing occurs at his teacher's factory, and he is learning to process tea as well. Yancy's standard sencha is an everyday tea that also has the stems included.

Yancy Lever is an American farming tea, yuzu citrus, soba (buckwheat) and other vegetables in the beautiful mountains of Otoyo Village, Kochi, and neighboring Aruse Village, Tokushima, Japan. He began tea farming just 2 years ago, after falling in love with and marrying his wife Azusa who is from Otoyo Village.
\n
Otoyo Village is more well known for its goishicha tea, but the same tea fields also produce sencha, so Yancy is starting his journey as a tea farmer with Japan's standard tea.

About the Nakai family
\n
Since the late 17th century, the Nakai family has been cultivating tea in the village of Wazuka, Kyoto. The 6th tea master, Masao Nakai, began organic and non-pesticide cultivation in 1980, a time when few people were concerned about producing organically. Aiming to create an agricultural system that coexists with the natural environment of the beautiful mountains, Nakai-san was a pioneer in the tea industry of Kyoto. His son, 7th tea master Michio Nakai, continues this tradition today.

Single origin, single estate, single cultivar.
\n
The term \"hashiri\" means \"running\" literally. It implies that the farmers have run out to the tea fields to harvest the leaves at earliest point possible.
\n
This particular tea was cultivated by tea farmer Yuya Murata using the Chagusaba Tea Agriculture Method, a UNESCO designated Agricultural Heritage. Deep steamed into a fukamushicha for a strong bodied taste.
\n
Tea field photo above from 2019/04/10.
\n
Flavor Notes
\n
Strong body, grassy astringency, complex vegetal flavors. This profile is likely a result of the lack of shading. Slightly buttery aftertaste with very slight hints of umami. Suitable for those who dislike the umami of shaded teas.
\n
Steeping Notes
\n
As a fukamushi, this product steeps very fast. We recommend tea: 5 grams, time: 60 seconds, water: 70C/160F, 200 ml. But if this is too strong for you, reduce the amount of leaves or the time. Use a hotter temperature for even stronger body, lower temperature (or even cold steeping) for a sweeter profile.

Single origin, single estate, single cultivar.
\n
The term \"hashiri\" means \"running\" literally. It implies that the farmers have run out to the tea fields to harvest the leaves at earliest point possible.
\n
This particular tea was cultivated by tea farmer Yuya Murata using the Chagusaba Tea Agriculture Method, a UNESCO designated Agricultural Heritage. Deep steamed into a fukamushicha for a strong bodied taste.
\n

\n
Flavor Notes
\n
Strong body, grassy astringency, complex vegetal flavors. This profile is likely a result of the lack of shading. Slightly buttery aftertaste with very slight hints of umami. Suitable for those who dislike the umami of shaded teas.
\n
Steeping Notes
\n
As a fukamushi, this product steeps very fast. We recommend tea: 5 grams, time: 60 seconds, water: 70C/160F, 200 ml. But if this is too strong for you, reduce the amount of leaves or the time. Use a hotter temperature for even stronger body, lower temperature (or even cold steeping) for a sweeter profile.

A classic, Yabukita single-cultivar sencha from Chiyonoen. Because approximately 75% of the teas in Japan are made from the variety called Yabukita, it is an acquired taste for Japanese and many tea lovers. Indeed, it is an excellent cultivar with a wonderful balance of taste and aroma, a cultivar that was selected from native varieties (seedlings) and registered in Shizuoka in 1953. Chiyonoen’s Yabukita sencha is characterized by its crisp taste and pleasant aroma.

A classic, Yabukita single-cultivar sencha from Chiyonoen. Because approximately 75% of the teas in Japan are made from the variety called Yabukita, it is an acquired taste for Japanese and many tea lovers. Indeed, it is an excellent cultivar with a wonderful balance of taste and aroma, a cultivar that was selected from native varieties (seedlings) and registered in Shizuoka in 1953. Chiyonoen’s Yabukita sencha is characterized by its crisp taste and pleasant aroma.

Steeping Notes
\n
The steeping guidelines below are from Chiyonoen. For more steeping tips including cold steeping and ice steeping, please see Yunomi's steeping guides.
Pour boiling water into a teacup or cup, leave it for about 2 minutes to cool to around 80 ° C, and then transfer it to a kyusu (Japanese tea pot). Steep for 60 to 90 seconds and it is ready to drink! Pour up to the last drop as the last drops are where the umami resides.
\n
From the 2nd steep, pour the hot water at a higher temperature than the 1st steep and steep for a shorter duration.
\n
Please enjoy the tea up to the third steep.

About the Farm
\n
Chiyonoen Tea Farm is a small tea garden operated by husband and wife farmers Masashi and Eri Harashima deep in the mountains of Yabe Village, Fukuoka, Japan. The 3rd generation farm specializes in high grade mountain-grown sencha and gyokuro. Established by his grandfather and the farm's namesake, Chiyokichi.
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).
The Harashima family's oldest tea field, planted in 1955, is made up of Yabukita cultivar tea plants. It is generally said that the life of a tea tree is about 30 to 35 years. The age of this Yabukita tea plantation at Chiyonoen is over 60 years. The Yabukita variety which was planted by the 2nd generation tea farmer at Chiyonoen has a characteristic aroma and produces a complex leaf.

The Harashima family's oldest tea field, planted in 1955, is made up of Yabukita cultivar tea plants. It is generally said that the life of a tea tree is about 30 to 35 years. The age of this Yabukita tea plantation at Chiyonoen is over 60 years. The Yabukita variety which was planted by the 2nd generation tea farmer at Chiyonoen has a characteristic aroma and produces a complex leaf.
