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.
\nProduction capacity: About 1300 kg per year. The family only harvests the spring first flush harvest.

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.

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

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

Steeping Notes
\n
Consider also cold steeping or ice steeping (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 generation tea farmer Hiroki Matsumoto manages some 30 fields in the Kiriyama region of the Makinohara plain in Shimada, Shizuoka. He utilizes the UNESCO designated World Heritage agricultural tradition, Chagusaba, to cultivate his tea leaves. This tradition requires farmers to cultivate sasa grasses surrounding the tea fields, and use the grasses as fertilizer in the fields.
\n
Regular steamed tea leaves create a balanced sencha green tea.

Setoya is the name given to the area in Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where many of this tea vendor's fields are located. Please enjoy the unique taste and sweetness of mountain grown tea.

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.

From the village of Yuikamatsuka (now simply Yui) in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture, this is a deep-steamed sencha green tea with a deep green color and medium astringency. Near the Ooi River (Ooigawa), the area is blessed with a morning mist that is evidence of the temperature difference between night and day that produces great tea leaf.
Yamane-en is a family-operated tea shop based near Sugamo Station on the Yamanote Loop Line in Tokyo and run by tea master Michio Shiobara. With 40 years of experience in the Japanese tea industry behind him, Shiobara-san offers unique teas sourced from small villages throughout Japan as well as a number of tisanes popular in Japan for their health benefits.

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.

A rich and delicious snow-aged sencha that is unique to the winter wonderlands of Niigata prefecture. This intriguing tea from Seikoen Tea Factory uses sencha tea leaves from Shizuoka prefecture which are then carefully refined and aged (please see below for further information) in their natural snow-cooled warehouse called a \"yukimuro\". The taste of this tea is enhanced by aging the carefully selected tea leaves just before freezing, which seems to reduce the bitterness and enhance the sweetness (umami) - you can discover for yourselves! Perhaps an ideal sencha to try for those who are not a huge fan of bitterness but also one to try for the sencha lovers out there.

\n
About Snow-aging
\n
Seikoen's snow cooled warehouse is like a big igloo which refrigerates products only with the cold air from the snow, without using any electricity (completely natural). The room is kept at 100% humidity and about 5 degrees Celsius for one entire year. While the mechanism needs more research, something about this unique aging process (perhaps due to the temperature which hovers just below zero in a state in which water is neither freezing nor liquid) causes the tea to increase multiple chemical components that make up the tea leaf's umami flavor. Specifically, an increase was measured from 632 mg/100g to 810.7 mg/100g of 15 amino acids according to their tests.

A rich and delicious snow-aged sencha that is unique to the winter wonderlands of Niigata prefecture. This intriguing tea from Seikoen Tea Factory uses sencha tea leaves from Shizuoka prefecture which are then carefully refined and aged (please see below for further information) in their natural snow-cooled warehouse called a \"yukimuro\". The taste of this tea is enhanced by aging the carefully selected tea leaves just before freezing, which seems to reduce the bitterness and enhance the sweetness (umami) - you can discover for yourselves! Perhaps an ideal sencha to try for those who are not a huge fan of bitterness but also one to try for the sencha lovers out there.

\n
About Snow-aging
\n
Seikoen's snow cooled warehouse is like a big igloo which refrigerates products only with the cold air from the snow, without using any electricity (completely natural). The room is kept at 100% humidity and about 5 degrees Celsius for one entire year. While the mechanism needs more research, something about this unique aging process (perhaps due to the temperature which hovers just below zero in a state in which water is neither freezing nor liquid) causes the tea to increase multiple chemical components that make up the tea leaf's umami flavor. Specifically, an increase was measured from 632 mg/100g to 810.7 mg/100g of 15 amino acids according to their tests.

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).

A careful blending of multiple cultivars from tea farmer Sugiyama Yachiyo, this light-steamed sencha was created to provide a light, delicate flavor and aroma with grassy notes. Sugiyama-san feels that this blend creates a depth and body in the tea's liquor that it would not have otherwise.

About the Farm
\n
Grown on mountain-top tea fields in the remote Kiyosawa Village, in the mountains of Eastern Shizuoka, the clarity of the air and water of this locale shines through with the light steaming production by Sugiyama-san and her husband.

A careful blending of multiple cultivars from tea farmer Sugiyama Yachiyo, this light-steamed sencha was created to provide a light, delicate flavor and aroma with grassy notes. Sugiyama-san feels that this blend creates a depth and body in the tea's liquor that it would not have otherwise.

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).

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).

"},{"id":6677770240105,"title":"#0752.S5 Mandara Green Tea Sampler Set by Kadode Ooigawa, Shizuoka - 4 steaming levels vs 4 green-roasting levels. (16 tea bags)","handle":"mandara-green-tea-by-kadode-ooigawa","description":"
The set includes 16 different tea bags with tea of 4 different steaming levels vs 4 different green roasting levels.
\n
Green roasting is a post-production refinement heating process that reduces the moisture in dry, unrefined leaf from 5-6% to 1-2%. Stronger roasts create a toastier flavor.
\n
Steaming the leaves is the first step in the processing of Japanese green tea and can range from 20 seconds to 90 seconds (the degree of steaming also affected by the size of the leaf as well). The lighter that a leaf is steamed, the more it retains its shape producing a translucent, yellowish tea that is light and delicate. A longer steaming breaks up the leaf more, producing a sweeter, stronger bodied, opaque green tea.
\n
Taste the range of flavors from this amazing set, and study how the leaf is affected by these two key production steps.
\n
Steeping
\n
The creators of the set provides a chart with English indicating the steaming levels vs green roasting levels on the top and right sides. On the left side it indicates steeping temperature and on the bottom it indicates steeping time.
\n
Our recommendation however is to use the exact same steeping parameters on all teas: 70C/160F degrees, for 90 seconds, 200 ml of water.

In November 2020, a new tea-themed amusement park opened in conjunction with the launch of a new train station on the Ooigawa Train Line in Shimada, Shizuoka. The facility, owned by Shimada City, was created in conjunction with local businesses including several tea producers (farming coops and factories) who came together to create the Mandara Green Tea set.
Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. His inspiration comes from the fact that many tea farmers around him in Shizuoka (perhaps, the best known prefecture for tea in Japan) are already making very good and high quality tea. While the focus of the generations before him was to sell cultivated tea to wholesalers, during his time as a tea farmer, Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden began to make their own products, which allowed Matsumoto-san to directly interact with customers (i.e., the people who drink his tea!). These interactions shifted something in him as began thinking about creating his own style of tea, one which wasn’t limited by the labels placed as \"Shizuoka-cha\" or \"Shimada-cha\".
\n
A black tea for the fig lovers out there, this fig wood smoked black tea is just one of Matsumoto-san’s innovative smoked teas. At Yunomi, we have a wide selection of Matsumoto-san's smoked black teas; therefore, you may want to try a few flavors to compare across his fascinating tea selection! Matsumoto-san smokes his black teas using the wood from Japanese whisky barrels and utilises wood that comes from the award winning Ichiro Distillery in Chichibu. This smoked tea can be enjoyed cold or hot and can be a great compliment to nuts and/or chocolate. One could also use the tea leaves and their strong flavor as condiment or seasoning. Please enjoy in many creative ways!
\n
Please note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System). Therefore, tea bushes are cultivated in the traditional Japanese chagusaba method where grass is used as mulch to protect and flavor the tea leaves. No flavorings and additives have been used. Matsumoto-san is the Silver Medal Winner of the 2014 International Tea Tasting Competition.

Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. His inspiration comes from the fact that many tea farmers around him in Shizuoka (perhaps, the best known prefecture for tea in Japan) are already making very good and high quality tea. While the focus of the generations before him was to sell cultivated tea to wholesalers, during his time as a tea farmer, Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden began to make their own products, which allowed Matsumoto-san to directly interact with customers (i.e., the people who drink his tea!). These interactions shifted something in him as began thinking about creating his own style of tea, one which wasn’t limited by the labels placed as \"Shizuoka-cha\" or \"Shimada-cha\".
\n
A black tea for the fig lovers out there, this fig wood smoked black tea is just one of Matsumoto-san’s innovative smoked teas. At Yunomi, we have a wide selection of Matsumoto-san's smoked black teas; therefore, you may want to try a few flavors to compare across his fascinating tea selection! Matsumoto-san smokes his black teas using the wood from Japanese whisky barrels and utilises wood that comes from the award winning Ichiro Distillery in Chichibu. This smoked tea can be enjoyed cold or hot and can be a great compliment to nuts and/or chocolate. One could also use the tea leaves and their strong flavor as condiment or seasoning. Please enjoy in many creative ways!
\n
Please note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System). Therefore, tea bushes are cultivated in the traditional Japanese chagusaba method where grass is used as mulch to protect and flavor the tea leaves. No flavorings and additives have been used. Matsumoto-san is the Silver Medal Winner of the 2014 International Tea Tasting Competition.

Soft yet strongly smoky tea. The warm vegetal green notes are balanced by a potent but smooth smoky notes, which linger for a long time. The combination of the flavours creates an interesting and soothing brew.
3rd generation tea farmer Hiroki Matsumoto manages some 30 fields in the Kiriyama region of the Makinohara plain in Shimada, Shizuoka. He utilizes the UNESCO designated World Heritage agricultural tradition, Chagusaba, to cultivate his tea leaves. This tradition requires farmers to cultivate sasa grasses surrounding the tea fields, and use the grasses as fertilizer in the fields.

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.

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. 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).
\n
This mountain tea is characterized by its thin and delicate leaves, sweetness, umami and rich aroma. And if you listen carefully, maybe you will be able to taste the laughter from the mountains!

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. 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).
\n
This mountain tea is characterized by its thin and delicate leaves, sweetness, umami and rich aroma. And if you listen carefully, maybe you will be able to taste the laughter from the mountains!

Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. His inspiration comes from the fact that many tea farmers around him in Shizuoka (perhaps, the best known prefecture for tea in Japan) are already making very good and high quality tea. While the focus of the generations before him was to sell cultivated tea to wholesalers, during his time as a tea farmer, Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden began to make their own products, which allowed Matsumoto-san to directly interact with customers (i.e., the people who drink his tea!). These interactions shifted something in him as began thinking about creating his own style of tea, one which wasn’t limited by the labels placed as \"Shizuoka-cha\" or \"Shimada-cha\".
\n
The peach wood smoked black tea is just one of Matsumoto-san’s intriguing smoked black teas. In fact, because at Yunomi, we have a wide selection of his smoked black teas, you may want to try a few flavors to compare across his teas! Matsumoto-san smokes his black teas using the wood from Japanese whisky barrels and utilises wood that comes from the award winning Ichiro Distillery in Chichibu. This smoked tea can be enjoyed cold or hot and can be a great compliment to nuts and/or chocolate. One could also use the tea leaves and their strong flavor as condiment or seasoning. Please enjoy in many creative ways!
\n
Please note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System). Therefore, tea bushes are cultivated in the traditional Japanese chagusaba method where grass is used as mulch to protect and flavor the tea leaves. No flavorings and additives have been used. Matsumoto-san is the Silver Medal Winner of the 2014 International Tea Tasting Competition.

The hinoki japanese cypress wood smoked black tea is one of these innovative teas from Matsumoto-san. As the name describes, this is a Japanese black tea that was smoked with wood from hinoki (i.e., Japanese cypress trees). While the smokiness will be evident, it is not overpowering. For instance, it will be milder in comparison to the famous Chinese smoked black tea (Lapsang souchong). This is a top quality Japanese black tea that is sure to surprise you with a powerful but sweet aroma and taste. Please note that no flavorings or additives are used.

Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. His inspiration comes from the fact that many tea farmers around him in Shizuoka (perhaps, the best known prefecture for tea in Japan) are already making very good and high quality tea. While the focus of the generations before him was to sell cultivated tea to wholesalers, during his time as a tea farmer, Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden began to make their own products, which allowed Matsumoto-san to directly interact with customers (i.e., the people who drink his tea). These interactions shifted something in him as began thinking about creating his own style of tea, one which wasn’t limited by the labels placed as Shizuoka-cha or Shimada-cha.
\n
The hinoki japanese cypress wood smoked black tea is one of these innovative teas from Matsumoto-san. As the name describes, this is a Japanese black tea that was smoked with wood from hinoki (i.e., Japanese cypress trees). While the smokiness will be evident, it is not overpowering. For instance, it will be milder in comparison to the famous Chinese smoked black tea (Lapsang souchong). This is a top quality Japanese black tea that is sure to surprise you with a powerful but sweet aroma and taste. Please note that no flavorings or additives are used.
\n
\nPlease note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System). Therefore, tea bushes are cultivated in the traditional Japanese chagusaba method where grass is used as mulch to protect and flavor the tea leaves. Please note that no flavorings and additives have been used.

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.

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.

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.

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. As a plus, this genmaicha is also blended with organic matcha, adding to the genmaicha notes of matcha flavor. Please enjoy together the roastiness of the rice (don't forget to enjoy the toasty aroma!), the fresh and grassy flavor from the green tea, and the richness of the matcha. Because of the matcha addition, this tea also has a very beautiful dark green color.

If you are simply looking for a genmaicha without the matcha addition, the Kinezuka family also offers their simple but delicious genmaicha brown rice green tea.

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. As a plus, this genmaicha is also blended with organic matcha, adding to the genmaicha notes of matcha flavor. Please enjoy together the roastiness of the rice (don't forget to enjoy the toasty aroma!), the fresh and grassy flavor from the green tea, and the richness of the matcha. Because of the matcha addition, this tea also has a very beautiful dark green color.
\n
If you are simply looking for a genmaicha without the matcha addition, the Kinezuka family also offers their simple but delicious genmaicha brown rice green tea.

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.

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.

\n
This is a cultivar that does particularly well in higher elevation areas of Shizuoka Prefecture. It was developed in the 1960's along with the other Shizu-7000 series (Tarui Tea Farm also cultivates the Yamakai cultivar in their Shurei). Please enjoy this unique and delicious sencha, which will provide you with a taste of the type of Senchas unique to Shizuoka! In the Chouseiden, only the bud and first two leaves are used.

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.

The Joetsu region of Niigata prefecture is a region which receives one of the most heavy snowfall areas in Japan. This tea was processed in this type of climate through a process called snow-aging (description below). In this rich and toasty flavoured tea, a generous amount of matcha is blended with the delicious Koshi-hikari (rice cultivar) brown rice from Niigata and green tea from Shizuoka prefecture that has been aged in Seikoen's natural snow-cooled warehoused called a \"Yukimuro\" to increase its flavor.

\n
About Snow-aging
\n
While the mechanism needs more research, something about this unique aging process (perhaps due to the temperature which hovers just below zero in a state in which water is neither freezing nor liquid) causes the tea to increase multiple chemical components that make up the tea leaf's umami flavor.
\n
Specifically, an increase was measured from 632 mg/100g to 810.7 mg/100g of 15 amino acids according to their tests

\nName: Autumn Bancha Tea
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nCultivar: Yabukita
\n
\nHarvest: Early October harvest
\n
\nRegion: Fujieda, Shizuoka
\n
\nCultivation notes: Grown pesticide free. Fertilized with organic compost.
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.

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.

\n
About the Kanaya Midori cultivar
\n
Tea research institutions operated by the Ministry of Agriculture in each major tea region constantly experiment to create new cultivars. In 1949, the Shizuoka branch crossed the Yabukita cultivar with a tea plant called Shizuoka zairai number 6 (静岡在来6号, often shortened \"S6\"). The best descendant was selected and registered in 1970 as tea cultivar number 30. The name comes from the old town of Kanaya which was merged into the city of Shimada where the Zenkouen Tea Garden is based.
\n
The Japanese tea industry uses Yabukita as a standard, and the Kanaya Midori cultivar can be harvested approximately 4 days later. The leaves tend to be smaller yet more plentiful giving a larger crop yield.

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.
\n
The leaves for this tea is a single cultivar, Kanaya Midori, are picked while they are still very young in spring.
\n
About the Kanaya Midori cultivar
\n
Tea research institutions operated by the Ministry of Agriculture in each major tea region constantly experiment to create new cultivars. In 1949, the Shizuoka branch crossed the Yabukita cultivar with a tea plant called Shizuoka zairai number 6 (静岡在来6号, often shortened \"S6\"). The best descendant was selected and registered in 1970 as tea cultivar number 30. The name comes from the old town of Kanaya which was merged into the city of Shimada where the Zenkouen Tea Garden is based.
\n
The Japanese tea industry uses Yabukita as a standard, and the Kanaya Midori cultivar can be harvested approximately 4 days later. The leaves tend to be smaller yet more plentiful giving a larger crop yield.

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.
Sencha Asatsuyu is a single cultivar green tea made from Shizuoka prefecture's asatsuyu cultivar, famous for naturally providing a gyokuro-like taste profile filled with umami richness. It has a mellow sweetness and is often utilised for making high-quality tea.
\n
Of course, one can enjoy this tea hot but the Dobashien Tea Company also recommends to try it cold-steeped during the warmer seasons. When it is cold-steeped, one may be pleasantly surprised at how delicious this tea is, without much/any bitterness. If you do enjoy having a bit of bitterness in your tea, it is recommended to steep the tea with hot water and then to add ice to the tea. Please enjoy this tea in many ways!
\n
About Production
\n
The most commonly drunk of all teas in Japan, sencha tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. After they are picked, the leaves are take immediately to to the factory for steaming, rolling, and drying.
\n
In Japan, a high level of skill necessary to create fine sencha. Though the processing of the leaves is entirely mechanized, the machines utilized are built to imitate the handrolling process that turns leaves into fine sencha needles. So, our tea meisters study the handrolling process in order to gain a better understanding and control over the machines used to produce professional-level sencha tea leaves.
\n
From there, our award-winning master blenders taste teas from different farms, filter out stems and dust, sort the leaves by size and gradation, and combine the leaves to create the perfect sencha.
In 1892, Dobashien's founder Tetsugoro Dobashi established a small tea shop in a quiet residential district on the outskirts of Tokyo. As the city expanded, the area known as Akasaka-Mitsuke became one of the city's elite districts with ryotei, luxury Japanese restaurants, hosting meetings between powerful politicians. At these ryotei, only the best tea leaves from Shizuoka and other parts of Japan are served.

Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. His inspiration comes from the fact that many tea farmers around him in Shizuoka (perhaps, the best known prefecture for tea in Japan) are already making very good and high quality tea. While the focus of the generations before him was to sell cultivated tea to wholesalers, during his time as a tea farmer, Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden began to make their own products, which allowed Matsumoto-san to directly interact with customers (i.e., the people who drink his tea!). These interactions shifted something in him as began thinking about creating his own style of tea, one which wasn’t limited by the labels placed as \"Shizuoka-cha\" or \"Shimada-cha\".
\n
The sakura (cherry blossom) wood smoked black tea is just one of Matsumoto-san’s unique products. This innovative black tea has been smoked with Japanese cherry blossom tree. The wood comes from the award winning Ichiro Distillery in Chichibu, Tokyo, Japan. If you have had previous exposure to sakura-infused drinks (e.g., sakura green tea)/food, you may experience familiar notes in this black tea. This smoked tea can be enjoyed cold or hot and can be a great compliment to nuts and/or chocolate. One could also use the tea leaves and their strong flavor as condiment or seasoning. Please enjoy in many creative ways!
\n
Please note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System). Therefore, tea bushes are cultivated in the traditional Japanese chagusaba method where grass is used as mulch to protect and flavor the tea leaves. Please note that no flavorings and additives have been used.

Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. This hojicha is indeed a distinct and standout hojicha, roasted from cedar wood from the famous Yakushima Island (Kagoshima Prefecture). The smokey flavor and scent will transport you into the earthiness of the cedar forests of Yakushima. While quite surprising and expressive in comparison to typical hojichas, this tea is not overpowering. A perfect hojicha to enjoy in the winter time. What is more, it can also be enjoyed cold-brewed in the hot summer days!
\n
If you are one who likes to explore out of the box, this hojicha may be for you! In fact, this is an award-winning hojicha which received the gold prize in the Japan Tea Festival in the year 2018 (Concours de Thé Japonais - C’est bon le Japon 2018). Matsumoto-san has been very creative with his black teas, too, so make sure to check out all of his innovative offerings (e.g., Yuzu Wood Smoked Black Tea, Sakura Wood Black Tea).
\n
Please note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System).

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.
\nProduction capacity: About 1300 kg per year. The family only harvests the spring first flush harvest.

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.
\nProduction capacity: About 1300 kg per year. The family only harvests the spring first flush harvest.

Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. His inspiration comes from the fact that many tea farmers around him in Shizuoka (perhaps, the best known prefecture for tea in Japan) are already making very good and high quality tea. While the focus of the generations before him was to sell cultivated tea to wholesalers, during his time as a tea farmer, Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden began to make their own products, which allowed Matsumoto-san to directly interact with customers (i.e., the people who drink his tea!). These interactions shifted something in him as began thinking about creating his own style of tea, one which wasn’t limited by the labels placed as \"Shizuoka-cha\" or \"Shimada-cha\".
\n
The apple wood smoked black tea is just one of Matsumoto-san’s unique teas. Matsumoto-san has been experimenting with other woods such as sakura (cherry blossom), yuzu, pine, etc, you may want to compare across his smoked black teas! This innovative black tea has been smoked for 8 hours with apple wood. Although apple wood may sound mellow and the infusion looks rather transparent, this tea is actually quite powerful (with respect to smokiness) with an aroma that is rich and profound. One may pleasantly come across hints of vanilla and it can also be enjoyed with some milk.
\n
Please note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System). Therefore, tea bushes are cultivated in the traditional Japanese chagusaba method where grass is used as mulch to protect and flavor the tea leaves. Please note that no flavorings and additives have been used.

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.
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).
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.
