"},{"id":6702523056233,"title":"#0636.K6 Shogyokuen: Tencha Green Tea Leaves Okumidori Single Cultivar","handle":"shogyokuen-tencha-green-tea-leaves-okumidori-single-cultivar","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 Okumidori cultivar is well-known as a good cultivar for high grade sencha,gyokuro, tencha/matcha. It is known for its deep, dark green color.
\n
Grade: This particular would like be ground into a Premium 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.

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 Okumidori cultivar is well-known as a good cultivar for high grade sencha,gyokuro, tencha/matcha. It is known for its deep, dark green color.
\n
Grade: This particular would like be ground into a Premium 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.
This Haruka is an organic matcha made from the famous AOI Seicha that is characterised by relatively low bitterness and umami, and can be enjoyed refreshingly. It is a rare matcha that is carefully selected and ground by a stone mill with only the finest tea leaves among organic tencha.
\n
Please note that only organically grown tea leaves that have been cultivated in pursuit of the motto, \"safe, secure, and deliciousness\" have been utilised.

Instructions
\n
\n
\nTools: matcha, chashaku bamboo scoop, chasen bamboo whisk, matcha bowl, cooling bowl or tea pot
\n
Take 2 grams (about 1.5 chashaku bamboo scoops) of matcha, and place it into your bowl
\n
Using the tips of your chasen bamboo whisks break apart any clumps (using a sifter may also help).
\n
Take boiling water and place it into a teapot or other cooling bowl. Allow the water to cool to 70-80C/158-176F degrees.
\n
Pour the water into your bowl, and using the whisk, slowly make an \"M\" shape in your bowl.
\n
As you speed up the whisk, bubbles (froth) will form.
\n
For Koicha, use about 50-70 ml of water. For Usucha, use 150-200 ml of water.

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.

"},{"id":6702532132969,"title":"#0637.K6 Shogyokuen: Tencha Green Tea Leaves Samidori Single Cultivar","handle":"shogyokuen-tencha-green-tea-leaves-samidori-single-cultivar","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
Grade: This particular would like be ground into a Imperial 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.

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.

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

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.
Highly Commended Award winner at the 2023 Leafies Awards.
\n
Created from the handpicked leaves of a Saemidori cultivar tea field that produced 2017’s perfect score Gyokuro winning the top prize at the National Tea Competition, this matcha offers an intense green color and rich umami flavor.
\n
Shaded by the Kuma family (Yame Tea Kumaen) for about 40 days using labor-intensive traditional canopy shading made of scaffolding and layered straw, the high elevation of the field helps to create slow growing leaves that take the time to absorb nutrients from the soil as the develop.
\n
At harvest time, the leaves are handpicked, then processed into tencha leaves, then aged for at least half a year in deep freeze to reduce bitterness even further. The leaves are then refined, and ground by stone mill into matcha.
\n
An ultra small batch, just a few kilograms of this matcha is available each year.

Highly Commended Award winner at the 2023 Leafies Awards.
\n
Created from the handpicked leaves of a Saemidori cultivar tea field that produced 2017’s perfect score Gyokuro winning the top prize at the National Tea Competition, this matcha offers an intense green color and rich umami flavor.
\n
Shaded by the Kuma family (Yame Tea Kumaen) for about 40 days using labor-intensive traditional canopy shading made of scaffolding and layered straw, the high elevation of the field helps to create slow growing leaves that take the time to absorb nutrients from the soil as the develop.
\n
At harvest time, the leaves are handpicked, then processed into tencha leaves, then aged for at least half a year in deep freeze to reduce bitterness even further. The leaves are then refined, and ground by stone mill into matcha.
\n
An ultra small batch, just a few kilograms of this matcha is available each year.
\n

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.

\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.

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.

A ceremonial grade matcha coming from the lovely Obubu tea farms in Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture. The samidori cultivar is a rare variety which has its origin in Uji and is mainly grown in Uji and the surrounding areas (such as Wazuka). Although it has a low yield, Samidori makes an excellent matcha, tencha, and gyokuro. Indeed, it is silky and smooth with a subtle sweetness, rich in umami flavour. To produce this matcha, the Samidori tea leaves where shaded for three to four weeks before harvest and then processed to tencha, then grounded for hours in stone mills.
\nCultivation & processing notes: Shaded for 3-4 weeks prior to harvest, steamed and dried without rolling to make tencha leaves. Refined tencha leaves are then ground by stone mill into matcha powder.
Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantations, is a Japanese tea brand owned and operated by tea farmers in the town of Wazuka, Kyoto. Started by Akihiro Kita and Yasuharu Matsumoto in 2004, the company began as an agricultural social venture.

A ceremonial grade matcha coming from the lovely Obubu tea farms in Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture. The samidori cultivar is a rare variety which has its origin in Uji and is mainly grown in Uji and the surrounding areas (such as Wazuka). Although it has a low yield, Samidori makes an excellent matcha, tencha, and gyokuro. Indeed, it is silky and smooth with a subtle sweetness, rich in umami flavour. To produce this matcha, the Samidori tea leaves where shaded for three to four weeks before harvest and then processed to tencha, then grounded for hours in stone mills.
\nCultivation & processing notes: Shaded for 3-4 weeks prior to harvest, steamed and dried without rolling to make tencha leaves. Refined tencha leaves are then ground by stone mill into matcha powder.
Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantations, is a Japanese tea brand owned and operated by tea farmers in the town of Wazuka, Kyoto. Started by Akihiro Kita and Yasuharu Matsumoto in 2004, the company began as an agricultural social venture. Akky and Matsu's aim was and still is, to teach tea lovers both in Japan and overseas about the value of tea farming, and to contribute to society through tea.

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
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.

\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.

\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.
