About the Ogura Family
\n
Yuki and Junko Ogura moved to Odawara from Tokyo a decade ago to pursue a life closer to nature, and engage in their passion for tea. Learning from the tea farmers in Ashigara, the town just north of Odawara City, they cultivate tea without the use of pesticides.
This Awa Bancha from the Furyu Bancha Specialty Shop is a rare, traditional post-fermented tea from Tokushima Prefecture (Located in Shikoku Island). This tea was grown and made in Kamikatsu-cho, which is said to be one of the most beautiful places in Shikoku due to its natural beauty. This tea was fermented with lactic acid bacteria by picking the branches from a strong tea bush, which they harvest once a year (Please see the video below). We hope you will be able to appreciate this unique Awa Bancha, which was made without the use of pesticides.
\n
Harvesting
\n
The leaves used for awa bancha tea are harvested in summer, July and August usually, by striping the leaves off a branch by hand as in the video below (from the local farmers cooperative that produces the tea).

Kurokoji Fermentation
\n
Kawamura Denbei, known as the \"Father of Shizuoka Yeast\" and president of microbial research and development company Riversion, developed this tea based on his years of research into koji molds (aspergillus oryzae) used for making Japanese sake, soy sauce, and miso among other foods. The specific type of koji used is black koji or kurokoji 黒麹, and is most famous for making the bold flavors of awamori sake in Okinawa. Joint research with Shizuoka and Saga Universities revealed that tea processed with kurokoji creates two polyphenols, named Teadenol A and Teadenol B.
\n
At Osada Tea's clean room facility, a patented kurokoji fermentation starter is mixed into leaves grown organically from the farmers of the Isagawa Tea Coop in Haruno Village (in the mountains of the famed Tenryu district of western Shizuoka). This differs from traditional Pu-erh tea which is naturally fermented (allowing the natural molds in the air to start fermentation in the leaves).

Made from a Shizuoka-specific tea cultivar called Koushun, this oolong tea is unlike any other you've tried. You may find it to resemble more a black tea with a sweet and elegant aroma. This is a tea that will leave an imprint that will be difficult for you to forget.
\n
\n
About the Koushun cultivar: Quite different from the dominant Yabukita cultivar, the flavor of “Koushun” is highly rated, due to its' strong flavor, pleasant aroma and umami. Popular among the young female generation who enjoy this cultivar for having a refreshing and floral scent. This cultivar is suitable for Shizuoka Prefecture because of its high yield and strong resistance to cold. While rare, today, this cultivar has received recognition among single cultivar lovers of Japanese tea.

Expertly crafted to be more oxidized than withered green tea, but not nearly as oxidized as most oolongs, Bizenya's Master Tea Craftsman Keiichi Shimizu's Kohaku Platinum will take you on a journey of new aromatic sensations.
\n
This specific version is a single cultivar one, made from the rare okumukashi cultivar
\n
\n
Tasting Notes
\n
This tea is deliciously sweet; take a first sip, swallow, then breathe out slowly through you nose to taste the aroma of flowers in your throat. In comparison to the original Kohaku, Kohaku Platinum is a richer experience.
\n
\n
Award winning
\n
The Kohaku Platinum was winner of the Grand Prize in the 2019-2020 Japanese Tea Selection held in Paris. Check out the scenes from the competition and award ceremony here (in a mix of French and Japanese!). Shimizu-san appears at 0:59.
\n\n
\n
Production
\n
Kohaku is produced by withering (ichou 萎凋) hand-picked tea leaves from Shimizu-san's private tea garden to create the floral aroma. The secret of the aroma comes in part from the thicker leaves but also from the process of withering, in which the harvested tea leaves are carefully withered to enhance their scent.
\n
Harvested leaves are withered in the sun then withered further indoors
\n
The withered leaves are then pan fired using a method known as kamairi oolong tea manufacturing (釜炒り製烏龍茶製法) on specialized Taiwanese tea processing equipment. Finally, they are green roasted using the basket-firing method.
\n
Photos show pan-firing and rolling steps of production
\n
What’s different in the platinum version? The Kohaku Platinum tea leaves are all hand-picked at Shimizu-san’s own tea garden. Because the tea leaves are hand picked, you will find the tea leaves to be quite large - with thick tea leaves and long stems.
\nProduction notes: Hand-picked, grown without pesticides.
\n
\nNotes: In Japanese, Shimizu-san promotes this as a slightly oxidized tea that is neither green nor oolong. We have decided to use the term \"green oolong tea\". In addition, Bihakko 微発酵 literally means \"slightly fermented\" -- fermentation was thought to be the process of creating oolong and black teas in the past; we now know that the process is actually enzymatic oxidization like the browning of an apple after you slice it.

Expertly crafted to be more oxidized than withered green tea, but not nearly as oxidized as most oolongs, Bizenya's Master Tea Craftsman Keiichi Shimizu's Kohaku Platinum will take you on a journey of new aromatic sensations.
\n
This specific version is a single cultivar one, made from the rare okumukashi cultivar
\n
\n
Tasting Notes
\n
This tea is deliciously sweet; take a first sip, swallow, then breathe out slowly through you nose to taste the aroma of flowers in your throat. In comparison to the original Kohaku, Kohaku Platinum is a richer experience.
\n
\n
Award winning
\n
The Kohaku Platinum was winner of the Grand Prize in the 2019-2020 Japanese Tea Selection held in Paris. Check out the scenes from the competition and award ceremony here (in a mix of French and Japanese!). Shimizu-san appears at 0:59.
\n\n
\n
Production
\n
Kohaku is produced by withering (ichou 萎凋) hand-picked tea leaves from Shimizu-san's private tea garden to create the floral aroma. The secret of the aroma comes in part from the thicker leaves but also from the process of withering, in which the harvested tea leaves are carefully withered to enhance their scent.
\n
Harvested leaves are withered in the sun then withered further indoors
\n
The withered leaves are then pan fired using a method known as kamairi oolong tea manufacturing (釜炒り製烏龍茶製法) on specialized Taiwanese tea processing equipment. Finally, they are green roasted using the basket-firing method.
\n
Photos show pan-firing and rolling steps of production
\n
What’s different in the platinum version? The Kohaku Platinum tea leaves are all hand-picked at Shimizu-san’s own tea garden. Because the tea leaves are hand picked, you will find the tea leaves to be quite large - with thick tea leaves and long stems.
\nProduction notes: Hand-picked, grown without pesticides.
\n
\nNotes: In Japanese, Shimizu-san promotes this as a slightly oxidized tea that is neither green nor oolong. We have decided to use the term \"green oolong tea\". In addition, Bihakko 微発酵 literally means \"slightly fermented\" -- fermentation was thought to be the process of creating oolong and black teas in the past; we now know that the process is actually enzymatic oxidization like the browning of an apple after you slice it.

About the Farm
\n
Chiyonoen Tea Farm is a small tea garden operated by husband and wife farmers Masashi and Eri Harashima deep in the mountains of Yabe Village, Fukuoka, Japan. The 3rd generation farm specializes in high grade mountain-grown sencha and gyokuro. Established by his grandfather and the farm's namesake, Chiyokichi.
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.

A unique sakura (cherry blossom) leaf black tea from Chiyonoen that has been in the process of experimentation since 2016. This black tea is made by blending handpicked leaves from their own sakura trees with their tea leaves, then processing the blended batch with their black tea. With this characteristic black tea, the Harashima family won the Fine Product Award at the 2017 Nihoncha Awards (a kind of people's choice award held annually). Naturally flavored, this award-winning black tea has a pleasant spring aroma which comes from sakura leaves.

Soft spring buds were harvested and finished with a light fermentation to produce Kajihara Tea Garden's wakocha (Japanese black tea), Izumi First Flush. Characterized by a light golden color, the fruity scent of Izumi's full leaves will spread all throughout your mouth.
\n
In 1960, the Izumi cultivar was registered by the Tea Farming Forestry divison as No.24 and given the name, \"Izumi\". It was originally cultivated for the production of kamairicha. The Izumi cultivar's parent is Benihomare, which holds a floral scent. In recent years, a handful of producers have become interested in producing fermented wakocha (black tea). Thus, while the Izumi cultivar is rare, it is receiving increased attention.
\n
The Izumi bushes at Kajihara Tea Garden were planted 5 years ago. It has taken patience and care but finally this year (2020), it was ready to be harvested. Kajihara-san feels the Izumi variety is full of potential and he is looking forward to improving their techniques and skills for making fragrant wakocha.

Soft spring buds were harvested and finished with a light fermentation to produce Kajihara Tea Garden's wakocha (Japanese black tea), Izumi First Flush. Characterized by a light golden color, the fruity scent of Izumi's full leaves will spread all throughout your mouth.
\n
In 1960, the Izumi cultivar was registered by the Tea Farming Forestry divison as No.24 and given the name, \"Izumi\". It was originally cultivated for the production of kamairicha. The Izumi cultivar's parent is Benihomare, which holds a floral scent. In recent years, a handful of producers have become interested in producing fermented wakocha (black tea). Thus, while the Izumi cultivar is rare, it is receiving increased attention.
\n
The Izumi bushes at Kajihara Tea Garden were planted 5 years ago. It has taken patience and care but finally this year (2020), it was ready to be harvested. Kajihara-san feels the Izumi variety is full of potential and he is looking forward to improving their techniques and skills for making fragrant wakocha.

The Kajihara Tea Garden is cultivated by Toshihiro Kajihara, a 3rd generation tea farmer based in the 9-family hamlet of Tsuge in Ashikita Village, Kumamoto. Being first born in his family, he was expected to continue the family business and so specialized in tea during his studies in the Public Agricultural University in Kumamoto prefecture. At the age of 20, he returned home to start his tea career.
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.

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.

This curious Tosa-bancha, which may remind you of a hojicha, is drunk mainly in Kochi city (located in Shikoku island). It also contains roasted shore beans and is characterized by its aroma. In Japanese cuisine, this tea will go quite well with grilled fish, and the combination of a grilled fish set meal and bancha at Tosa's drive-in is one of our favorite combinations. This bancha is also recommended to make ochazuke (i.e., a simple Japanese dish made by pouring tea, dashi, or hot water over cooked rice). We are sure it will accompany cuisines which are not Japanese, and of course, you can enjoy it on its own!
\n
\n
Production of the bancha green tea leaves for Tosa Bancha
\n
\n\n
Autumn harvested leaves are steamed
\n
Pounded to soften
\n
Massaged to soften further
\n
Tumbled to soften further
\n
Dried
\n
Finally they are blended with kishimame, an herb common throughout Japan with various names
Bancha Specialty Shop Furyu was established in 2010 by aspiring tea master Nobuhiko Ikematsu, who works directly with farmers in Kurume City, Fukuoka, to develop delicious bancha teas. He is also a specialist gathering rare bancha teas from around Japan.

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.

It is made by using the tea leaves and stems harvested from mid July - mid August. Leaves and stems are boiled in an iron pan. Boiled tea leaves are spread out onto a straw mat. Cooked water used for boiling the tea is sprinkled onto the tea leaves as it is dried under the sunlight, and this is repeated two or three times. As a result of tea incrustation from the water sprinkled onto the tea, color of the dried tea leaves become amber.
\n
STEEPING NOTES
\n
Because Mimasaka Bancha is slightly fermented, it must be brewed in boiling water for 7-8 minutes to fully enjoy the tea. By pouring boiling water to the tea leaves will extract only the sour flavor contained in the tea.
\n
Several customers have recommended brewing the leaves to a thicker, stronger extract, so here is our current recommendation:
\n
Tea: 5 grams. Time: 8 minutes. Water: About 2 cups or 300-350 ml. Place leaves in boiling water and brew for 8 minutes.

A single cultivar Japanese black tea made from tea leaves cultivated in the mountains at an altitude of 600m in Yabe Village (Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture). Husband and wife tea farmers Harashima-san carefully handles the picked tea leaves so that they are not scratched. In this way, the tea is finished on a pleasant note. This black tea is low in bitterness and astringency, and you will enjoy a gentle sweetness that spreads in your mouth. Sayama Midori is an older cultivar which was registered in the same year as the popular Yabukita cultivar. Because its personality lies in their unique aroma, please enjoy the smell of this cultivar by using a large amount of tea leaves.

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.

Shizuoka tea farmer Takayuki Tarui generally uses summer second flush leaves to create oolong tea, but this year he experimented with first flush leaves. Grown pesticide free and without synthetic fertilizers, the tea is made from the karabeni cultivar, harvested mid-May 2019.

\nIngredient: Oolong tea

\nCultivar: karabeni - selected from a plant grown from seed brought from China in the 1950s but never formally registered with the government so quite rare
While Japan is certainly not known for its black tea, innovative and dedicated tea farmers are learning to produce delicate but delicious black teas. This mellow and soft tasting black tea comes from the Kurihara family (based in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture), one of Japan's best at creating a premium green tea called gyokuro. With this black tea, they introduce a new dimension to Japanese black tea grown in the climate of Oku Yame, a place that is abundant with nature. As these leaves come from the Yabukita cultivar, you may find that the tea leaves hold a faint sweetness reminiscent of Japanese sencha. Characterized by its pleasantly smooth and sweet flavor with a floral aroma, this black tea is meant to be drunk without sugar. The light taste is produced precisely because it uses tea leaves that are generally considered perfect for sencha green tea.
\n
Please note that Japanese black tea has a lower caffeine content in comparison to other black teas, so it can be enjoyed by the entire family from children to the elderly. This black tea will go well with the standard sweets that generally accompany black teas, but also with Japanese sweets such as red bean paste and mochi snacks.

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 Yuzu 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 yuzu or Japanese citron trees for 8 hours. While the smokiness will be clear to you, it is not overpowering. This is a top quality Japanese black tea that is sure to surprise you and one of the only yuzu black teas at Yunomi. If you are not familiar with yuzu, it is a Japanese citrus lemon (lemon-grapefruity) that is highly valued due to its highly aromatic rind. If you are exploring the world of Japanese black teas, Matsumoto-san has an impressive line up of interesting smoked black teas.
\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). No flavorings or additives are used.

This benifuuki cultivar black tea comes from a small family farm on the pristine island of Tsushima between Japan and Korea, where 90% of the island is still virgin forest. The Oishi family has been farming tea there for a decade now, learning to specialize in organic cultivation and processing of black tea. The tea leaves grown in the rich nature of Tsushima were carefully hand-processed. This black tea is gentle and soft with a fruity aroma and a honey-like sweetness. You may want to try it straight first without adding milk or sugar to simply delight in its' pure color and taste. This item was the earliest product of Oishi Farms and is still a popular representative product.

A Japanese black tea (wakocha 和紅茶) from the Yabukita Cultivar coming from the Masuda family in Shizuoka Prefecture. This black tea does not have much bitterness. In fact, its' charms lie in its gentle sweetness and the floral aroma. Because it has rather a refreshing flavor, we recommend drinking it straight or enjoying it as a lemon tea.

About the Tea Farmer
\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.

3 decades of experience in crafting black tea is utilized with extra care to create a premium level wakocha using our Japanese Yabukita tea plants. The main characteristic of the Premium Setoya Momiji is a honey-like flavor profile created by the unka insects that appear in our organic tea fields in early June and bite on the leaves. Like Taiwan's Oriental Beauty, enjoy this exquisite taste from Mother Nature.
\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.

While Japan is certainly not known for their black tea, innovative and dedicated tea farmers are learning to produce delicate but delicious black teas. This deep and distinctive black tea comes from the Kurihara family (based in Yame, Fukuoka prefecture), one of Japan's best at creating a premium green tea called gyokuro. The benifuuki cultivar is well known in Japan for its high level of catechin which will convert smoothly into flavorful tanning when used to create black teas. To appreciate the profoundness of this black tea, it is recommended to drink it straight. However, one may also enjoy it as a milk tea (okay, you can also add sugar or honey!) because it has the astringency that is characteristic of Assam tea.
\n
As a side note, in general, Japanese black teas have a lower caffeine content than other black teas, so it can be enjoyed by a wide range of people - from children to elders! Please enjoy with sweets that go well with black tea, such as cookies, cakes, and scones.

While Japan is certainly not known for their black tea, innovative and dedicated tea farmers are learning to produce delicate but delicious black teas. This deep and distinctive black tea comes from the Kurihara family (based in Yame, Fukuoka prefecture), one of Japan's best at creating a premium green tea called gyokuro. The benifuuki cultivar is well known in Japan for its high level of catechin which will convert smoothly into flavorful tanning when used to create black teas. To appreciate the profoundness of this black tea, it is recommended to drink it straight. However, one may also enjoy it as a milk tea (okay, you can also add sugar or honey!) because it has the astringency that is characteristic of Assam tea.
\n
As a side note, in general, Japanese black teas have a lower caffeine content than other black teas, so it can be enjoyed by a wide range of people - from children to elders! Please enjoy with sweets that go well with black tea, such as cookies, cakes, and scones.

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 Japanese cacao wood smoked black tea is just one of Matsumoto-san’s innovative 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 tea selection! Matsumoto-san even smokes his black teas using the wood from Japanese whisky barrels and utilises wood that comes from the award winning Ichiro Distillery in Chichibu.
\n
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 extraordinary 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 Japanese pine wood (Matsu) smoked black tea is just one of Matsumoto-san’s innovative teas. Matsumoto-san has been experimenting with other woods such as sakura (cherry blossom), apple, cedar, etc, it is definitely worthwhile to compare across his smoked teas! This innovative black tea has been smoked for 8 hours with the Japanese pine wood, matsu. Even upon the opening of this smoked tea, one will experience quite a strong smoky impression. Like many of his smoked teas, this matsu wood smoked black tea provides a velvety sensation, calm but profound. If you are familiar with Chinese tea, it could be compared to the Chinese tea, lachsang souchong. A wondrous Japanese black tea which will take you by surprise!
\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.

A Japanese black tea (wakocha 和紅茶, Yabukita cultivar) made by the Masuda family. This black tea does not have much bitterness. In fact, it's charms lie in its gentle sweetness and a floral aroma.

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.

This Kanayamidori cultivar was grown in the mountains of Yabe Village (Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture) at an altitude of about 500m. It is a cultivar that is characteristic with a milky sensation. Many people enjoy this black tea due to its sweet aroma and flavor. This black tea does not have a strong personality, so Chiyonoen recommends it for those who may not usually drink black tea - as it is a soft, gentle, pleasing Japanese black tea!

Batabatacha is a tea with an unique tradition dating back to before the 15th century. Loved by the people in the town of Asahimachi Birudan of Toyama Prefecture, it is a fermented tea similar to Chinese pu-erh tea, and is traditionally drunk whisked and foamed with a pinch of salt.
\n
History of Batabatacha
\n
The earliest known record of this tea comes from a visit by Rennyo, the 8th head priest of Jodo Shinshu sect of Buddhism, in 1472 where he noted that the locals were combining this tea with rice and alcohol into a single dish that was eaten/drunk. Production however had died out by the 1970s, and the people of Birudan in Asahi Village were buying their dark tea from tea farmer Hideo Shimizu in Mihama Village, Fukui Prefecture.
\n
In 1975, the aging Shimizu-san had decided to stop production, and Akinobu Hagiwara of Kosugi Village, Toyama learned the process, taking over production for the people of Birudan. In the 1980s, the Village of Birudan itself together made an effort to learn production from Hagiwara-san to ensure the tradition was not lost, and established fields in the village in the 1990s. With the help of Kagawa University Professor Kinjiro Miyagawa, the village improved the quality of the leaves, and now production has become a community project led by the local chambers of commerce.
\n
\n
How is batabatacha made?
\n
The third flush in July - August is the harvesting season for tea leaves used in making batabatacha. Tea leaves are picked by the branch, and are chopped up before steaming until the color becomes yellowish-brown. Steaming process stops the function of enzymes. (This step allows the tea to be classified as green tea. Without this step, the enzymes would oxidize the the leaves turning it into an oolong or black tea, though there are other steps in making oolong and black teas to consider.)
\n
After drying the tea for half-day, it is placed in a wooden box for fermentation (this step would allow the leaf to be classified as a dark tea). When the leaves have reached about 65-70 degrees Celsius, they are laid out in rooms and turned every 2-3 days for 3-4 weeks. They are then taken outside and dried in the shade for half a day, before drying in the sun for 2-3 days.
\n
In this particular region of Toyama Prefecture, batabatacha is served at various events such as a gathering for ancestor's commemoration or when introducing the bride after the wedding ceremony. As a type of 'tea party' held among family, close relatives and friends, the serving of this tea is ceremonial, but casual at the same time. Brewed tea is poured in a tea bowl to be whisked until it creates a foam. People in the town also drink unwhisked batabatacha with their everyday meal.
\n
\n
Vitamin B12
\n
We have not tested batabatacha for vitamin B12 ourselves, but this study claims that the tea contains a significant amount: '456 ± 39 ng per 100 g dry tea leaves and 2.0 ± 0.3 ng per 100 mL of tea drink'. The study conducted testing on rats concluding that 'the vitamin B12 found in the fermented black tea is bioavailable in mammals.'
We would appreciate comments from nutritionists, food scientists, etc. to help understand the above.

How to brew batabatacha
\n
Traditionally, you would boil about 20g of leaves in a large kettle for an hour. Then adding a pinch of salt, you whisk the batabatacha with a special whisk for up to five minutes.
\n\n
Alternatively, we recommend as a lighter more standard tea, using 5 grams and steeping in 200-400 ml of hot water for about 5 minutes.
Bancha Specialty Shop Furyu was established in 2010 by aspiring tea master Nobuhiko Ikematsu, who works directly with farmers in Kurume City, Fukuoka, to develop delicious bancha teas. He is also a specialist gathering rare bancha teas from around Japan.

We have not tested batabatacha for vitamin B12 ourselves, but this study claims that the tea contains a significant amount: '456 ± 39 ng per 100 g dry tea leaves and 2.0 ± 0.3 ng per 100 mL of tea drink'. The study conducted testing on rats concluding that 'the vitamin B12 found in the fermented black tea is bioavailable in mammals.'
We would appreciate comments from nutritionists, food scientists, etc. to help understand the above.

How to brew batabatacha
\n
Traditionally, you would boil about 20g of leaves in a large kettle for an hour. Then adding a pinch of salt, you whisk the batabatacha with a special whisk for up to five minutes.
\n\n
Alternatively, we recommend as a lighter more standard tea, using 5 grams and steeping in 200-400 ml of hot water for about 5 minutes.
Bancha Specialty Shop Furyu was established in 2010 by aspiring tea master Nobuhiko Ikematsu, who works directly with farmers in Kurume City, Fukuoka, to develop delicious bancha teas. He is also a specialist gathering rare bancha teas from around Japan.

\n
Use a spoon to scoop 1 heaping of powder (about half a gram) for every 100-150 ml of hot water.
\n
For cold steeping, use 1 teaspoon per liter of water.
\n
We also recommend that you use a small amount of water and mix with the sifted powder into paste first to get rid of clumps.

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.

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.
