The Cultivar - Kirari 31

\n

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

Meet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2024 and certified organic by JAS. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you're supporting sustainable farming practices.

From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a shincha shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha). The Okumidori tea cultivar has been quite popular in recent years for its strong natural umami flavor (enhanced by the shading) and deep green color. With this kabusecha, a deep and soft umami flavor will be followed by a refreshing sweet aftertaste, which spreads in your mouth. This tea is recommended to be paired with Western desserts like cake. 

As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.

Steeping Notes

  • Tea: 3-5 grams
  • Time: 1 minute
  • Water temperature: 60C/140F degrees
  • Water amount: 1 cup
  • Resteep at hotter temperature up to 3 times. We recommend the second steep to be quick -- in and out, since the leaves are primed for extraction.
  • Use hotter temperature & longer steeping time for a more astringent tea, use cold water or ice steeping for a very sweet tea.
