From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea that has been withered slightly for a few hours to impart a floral aroma.
\n
This type of tea is known as ichoucha - \"withered tea\" - and the processing technique is borrowed from oolong tea processing. During withering (a few hours between harvest and before steaming), the leaves undergo a very slight amount enzymatic oxidization, the same process used to create oolong and black teas. Doing this adds floral notes to the leaf.

Winner of
\n
From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea that has been withered slightly for a few hours to impart a floral aroma.
\n
This type of tea is known as ichoucha - \"withered tea\" - and the processing technique is borrowed from oolong tea processing. During withering (a few hours between harvest and before steaming), the leaves undergo a very slight amount enzymatic oxidization, the same process used to create oolong and black teas. Doing this adds floral notes to the leaf.
Carefully finished (post-processed) selecting the highest grades of leaves, the Morita family created this premium sencha with the love and dedication of 10th generation tea farmers.
\n
The most premium sencha created by the Morita family, Suiren is shaded for 2 weeks so can also be called a kabusecha, though the northern latitude of the farm creates a stronger body than teas from more southern regions.
\n
The name: Suiren 睡蓮
\n
Morita-san's premium sencha takes the name Suiren, the Japanese name for the water lily. Translated literally to \"sleeping lotus\", Suiren flowers are related to the lotus flower, and is the flower that Claude Monet studied in his famous Water Lilies painting. The lotus is a symbol of enlightenment in Japanese and Chinese aesthetics because the plant rises from the darkness of the pond and blooms into the light.
\n\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nHarvest: May
\n
\nCultivar: Blend (Yabukita, Fukumidori, Sayama Kaori, Sae Akari, and others)
The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.
\n
Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.
\n
On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

Methylated Catechins, found abundantly in benifuuki green tea, is an antioxidant that is marketed in Japan for relieving symptoms hay fever allergies. Drinking benifuuki green tea seems to work for many Japanese (start drinking daily for 6 months before the onset of hay fever season…so you’ll have to learn to like the bitter flavor), so has been very popular in recent years.
\n
Our recommendation is 2 grams per 100 cc of water, steeping for 5 minutes with hot water to extract the maximum amount of nutrients. Avoid drinking on an empty stomach as this recipe extracts the leaf's bitter bitter bitter flavor (making it bitter...which is good medicine as mom always says).

Methylated Catechins, found abundantly in benifuuki green tea, is an antioxidant that is marketed in Japan for relieving symptoms hay fever allergies. Drinking benifuuki green tea seems to work for many Japanese (start drinking daily for 6 months before the onset of hay fever season…so you’ll have to learn to like the bitter flavor), so has been very popular in recent years.
\n
Our recommendation is 2 grams per 100 cc of water, steeping for 5 minutes with hot water to extract the maximum amount of nutrients. Avoid drinking on an empty stomach as this recipe extracts the leaf's bitter bitter bitter flavor (making it bitter...which is good medicine as mom always says).

Perhaps you are familiar with a hojicha but exactly is a kuki hojicha? Akukicha (“twig tea”), or stem tea, is made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha. So, this tea from Yokota Tea Garden is a roasted stem tea, and specifically with stems/stalks coming from their summer harvest in Sayama, Saitama prefecture. Lightly smoky and earthy in flavor, and low in caffeine due to the summer harvest and roasting process. Many of our customers have also commented on the gentle sweetness and nuttiness of this kuki hojicha so if you prefer your hojichas to have a subtle sweetness, this one may be for you!

A premium sencha coming from the Yokota Tea Garden which was picked on the 88th night (Japanese: 八十八夜; hachijyu-hachiya). According to the traditional Japanese lunar calendar, hachijyu-hachiya signifies the 88th night after the start of spring and is also used to mark the start of shincha harvesting. Tea from this harvest is said to bring you a fortuitous life. Meanwhile the first picking of the season is called hatsutsumi. Early picking of younger leaves generates a tea with an extra delicate and sweeter flavor profile with an aroma full of early summer. The younger leaves were then deep steamed to make a fukamushicha. Grown by 4th, 5th, and 6th generation tea farmers in the famous Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture.

\n
\nRegion: Sayama, Saitama Prefecture
\n

\nNumber of Cups in 100g: 30 cups (10 uses / 3 steepings / 1 cup per steeping. Varies with your steeping recipe.)
Shimizu-san's Fukimukashi blend is thought to be their finest shincha. This tea originates from Shimizu-san and the Sayama tea farmers’ fields (comes from three tea plantations).
\n
Like Bizenya’s Shourai blend, it consists of aracha (unrefined tea in which stems and leaf fannings are not filtered) from three types of cultivars: fukumidori, yumewakaba, and yabukita.
\n\n
After the tea is harvested, it goes through a process of withering in which the tea leaves are first sun dried, then dried in the shade for about half a day to create the aroma. Each cultivar is hand-fired separately using a hoiro (焙炉 a special table with thick washi paper surface that is heated from the bottom), then blended to complete the Shourai blend. This tea was served to the Japanese emperor and empress to accompany their dessert at Koryo Shrine on September 20, 2017.
Withering in the sun. After 30 minutes the leaf starts to blacken with enzymatic oxidization creating a floral aroma.
\n
Sencha processing
\n
Finishing - sorting out stems and fannings, including green-roasting using an old-style drying machine. The hot air used in to dry out the unrefined tea for long-term storage also adds a little toastiness to the fruity floral aroma.
3rd steeping: 85C (185F), 30 sec - Enjoy the refreshing taste and aroma

Shimizu-san's Fukimukashi blend is thought to be their finest shincha. This tea originates from Shimizu-san and the Sayama tea farmers’ fields (comes from three tea plantations).
\n
Like Bizenya’s Shourai blend, it consists of aracha (unrefined tea in which stems and leaf fannings are not filtered) from three types of cultivars: fukumidori, yumewakaba, and yabukita.
\n\n
After the tea is harvested, it goes through a process of withering in which the tea leaves are first sun dried, then dried in the shade for about half a day to create the aroma. Each cultivar is hand-fired separately using a hoiro (焙炉 a special table with thick washi paper surface that is heated from the bottom), then blended to complete the Shourai blend. This tea was served to the Japanese emperor and empress to accompany their dessert at Koryo Shrine on September 20, 2017.
Withering in the sun. After 30 minutes the leaf starts to blacken with enzymatic oxidization creating a floral aroma.
\n
Sencha processing
\n
Finishing - sorting out stems and fannings, including green-roasting using an old-style drying machine. The hot air used in to dry out the unrefined tea for long-term storage also adds a little toastiness to the fruity floral aroma.
Bizenya’s tea merchant Keiichiro Shimizu is proud of his Shimizu Mukashiblend, both for its flavor and its aroma that is incomparable to other teas. This shincha is handpicked primarily from his own Nogi-en tea farm, located in Takahagi, Hidaka city (Sayama region, well-known for their Sayamacha). The Nogi-en tea farm is cultivated without use of pesticides and leaves from this farm are only handpicked and only once a year.
\n
It takes Shimuzi-san and his staff 10 days to handpick the 20 acre Nogi-en for their \"Shimizu Mukashi\" aracha. Aracha is a type of traditional, unrefined tea in which stems and leaf fannings are not filtered out. For this special preparation, the freshly picked tea leaves will go through a carefully controlled shading process, termed ichoka (icho = withering, ka=aroma), which concentrates and preserves the subtle aromas.
\n
Because it is handpicked, the rolled tea leaves will appear larger than what one may be used to seeing, perhaps giving a wild look, foreshadowing its ambition. As you begin the first sip, the alluring aroma slips past your tongue followed instantaneously by a sweet and refreshing taste. You may be surprised by the desire for time to stop and forever live in that perfect moment when aroma and taste both tantalize and satisfy. This is the magic of Bizenya's Shimizu-mukashi shincha. One to look forward to every year!

While many teas tend to be characterized by their stringiness or bitterness, Shimizu-san's Kasumino is characterized by its fruity and refreshing aroma. This aroma is a product of the process of ichoka, in which the harvested tea leaves are withered to enhance their scent. If you would like to enjoy the rich taste of Sayama-cha (tea originating from Takahagi, Hidaka city area in Saitama prefecture) but would also like to appreciate the process of ichoka, the Kasumino tea is the one to try. This blend comes from three tea gardens in the vicinity of Bizenya and is also a blend of cultivars: yabukita, sayamamidori, saemidori and fukumidori.

While many teas tend to be characterized by their stringiness or bitterness, Shimizu-san's Kasumino is characterized by its fruity and refreshing aroma. This aroma is a product of the process of ichoka, in which the harvested tea leaves are withered to enhance their scent. If you would like to enjoy the rich taste of Sayama-cha (tea originating from Takahagi, Hidaka city area in Saitama prefecture) but would also like to appreciate the process of ichoka, the Kasumino tea is the one to try. This blend comes from three tea gardens in the vicinity of Bizenya and is also a blend of cultivars: yabukita, sayamamidori, saemidori and fukumidori.
\n
\n
Processing
\n\n
Withering in the sun. After 30 minutes the leaf starts to blacken with enzymatic oxidization creating a floral aroma.
\n
Sencha processing
\n
Finishing - sorting out stems and fannings, including green-roasting using an old-style drying machine. The hot air used in to dry out the unrefined tea for long-term storage also adds a little toastiness to the fruity floral aroma.
3) 85C (185F), 30 sec - enjoy both the aroma and taste

The Shourai blend is made from the aracha (unrefined tea in which stems and leaf fannings are not filtered out) of three types of cultivars: fukumidori (plays central role), yumewakaba, and yabukita.
\n
After the tea is harvested, it goes through a process of withering in which the tea leaves are first sun dried, then dried in the shade for about half a day to create the aroma. Each cultivar is hand-fired separately using a hoiro (焙炉 a special table with thick washi paper surface that is heated from the bottom), then blended to complete the Shourai blend. This tea was served to the Japanese emperor and empress to accompany their dessert at Koryo Shrine on September 20, 2017.

Finishing - sorting out stems and fannings, including green-roasting using an old-style drying machine. The hot air used in to dry out the unrefined tea for long-term storage also adds a little toastiness to the fruity floral aroma.
3rd steeping: 85C (185F), 30 sec - Enjoy the refreshing taste and aroma

The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.
\n
Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.
\n
On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

A sencha coming from the famous tea producing region in Sayama, Saitama Prefecture. This sencha has been said to be produced since the Kamakura Period (1192 - 1333). During the finishing process, this tea went through a traditional high temperature drying process from the region called, “Sayama-firing method\" (Japanese: 狭山火入れ; Sayama Hi-Ire) which gives it a particular bitter taste on the first sip. Highly aromatic and refreshing, sweet and rich, this sencha will leave a unique imprint in your mouth.
\n
As sung in the Sayama tea making song, tea from the Sayama region is particularly well-known for their taste (i.e., the color of tea is said to be best in Shizuoka, the scent in Uji, and the taste in Sayama).

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.

A sencha coming from the famous tea producing region in Sayama, Saitama Prefecture. This sencha has been said to be produced since the Kamakura Period (1192 - 1333). During the finishing process, this tea went through a traditional high temperature drying process from the region called, “Sayama-firing method\" (Japanese: 狭山火入れ; Sayama Hi-Ire) which gives it a particular bitter taste on the first sip. Highly aromatic and refreshing, sweet and rich, this sencha will leave a unique imprint in your mouth.
\n
As sung in the Sayama tea making song, tea from the Sayama region is particularly well-known for their taste (i.e., the color of tea is said to be best in Shizuoka, the scent in Uji, and the taste in Sayama).

From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a rare handpicked fukamushicha blend. Fukamushi - or deep steaming - was invented to give tea leaves a better flavor profile despite being lower grade leaves. To use it on handpicked leaves is rare as the connoisseur market in Japan general likes the delicacy of light steaming for carefully handpicked leaves. As an experiment, Okutomi-san decided to try deep steaming some of his handpicked harvest this year.

A single cultivar Fukumidori sencha green tea from the award-winning Okutomi Tea Garden that has been withered slightly for a few hours to impart a floral aroma.
\n
\n
Fukumidori is a local cultivar grown mainly in Saitama prefecture. It is highly praised for its refreshing aroma and taste (i.e., quite different from the wide spread Yabukita cultivar).
\n
This type of tea is known as ichoucha - \"withered tea\" - and the processing technique is borrowed from oolong tea processing. During withering (a few hours between harvest and before steaming), the leaves undergo a very slight amount enzymatic oxidization, the same process used to create oolong and black teas. Doing this adds floral notes to the leaf.
7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi runs the Okutomi Tea Garden based in the famous tea region, Sayama, Saitama prefecture. He is one of the most respected tea farmers in Japan for both his skill in cultivation and processing. Moreover, he is a master of tea hand rolling!

This genmaicha was made with domestic Japanese brown rice with a base of fukamushicha and with high quality Uji matcha.

From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea (Kirari 31) shaded for 12 days for delicious umami flavor and carefully harvested on April 14th by hand.

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.

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.
