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.

A growing number of Japanese tea farmers & producers offer black & oolong teas made with Japanese tea plants. They tend to be light-bodied for unsweetened tea.
What is the difference between black, oolong and dark teas? While different cultivars (cultivated varieties...in wine you think of merlot, pinot noir, etc.) of the tea plant (camellia sinensis) maybe suited toward different teas, the tea type is determined by the processing method.
