Farm Introduction

\n
\n

According to Hiroki Murakami, who will become the farm's 4th generation master, the family doesn't know exactly when they started farming tea, though his great-grandfather was the one who built their first processing factory in the late 19th century.

\n

Based in the Yoshiwara district, a mountainous region famous for its sea of clouds within the municipality of Shizuoka City, the family produces about 2 tons of tea altogether per year (first and second flushes).

\n

Their leaves are mostly processed as a near-fukamushi (deep steamed), a steaming technique that creates a tea that has fukashimicha's deep, opaque green color and sweetness, but while also retaining much of the leaf's shape.

Sourced from tea farms in the regions surrounding Uji, Kyoto, Nishide-san refines and blends handpicked gyokuro tea leaves into this Modern Heritage Uji Gyokuro. The shading also uses a canopy instead of direct covering preventing damage to the leaves, and allowing them to grow freely.

The young leaf buds, having been prepared since the previous fall, are filled with nutrients stocked up by the plant over the long, cold winter. This produces the highest grade of tea leaf with an extra strong flavor. A blend of machine-cut trim of the youngest, topmost leaves, and leaves handpicked from a select number of the Kinezuka family and partners' best fields at the very beginning of the shincha season this is the youngest tea leaf you can find and therefore called Hashiri Shincha 走り新茶 — literally “run to get the new tea leaves”

\n

We helped to pick this tea in 2014 at the family's annual spring tea picking event.

Steeping recommendations & Science

\n

Our recommend steeping method is to use water cooled to about 40˚C/105˚F steeped for 2-3 minutes for the best balance between sweetness and umami (savory) flavors.

\n

A more standard steeping method would be to use 3-5 grams steeping in 200 ml of water at 60C/140F for about 60 seconds. The second steep after that can be hotter water, poured in and out of your tea pot without waiting. A 3rd or 4th steep can use hotter water and a longer steep (30-60 seconds). 

\n

Remember, hotter water yields more bitterness while cooler yields sweetness. Longer time / more leaves also increases the strength of the tea.

\n

The science: theanine amino acids are plentiful at the beginning of a leaf's lifespan. As the leaf is exposed to sunlight and photosynthesis occurs, catechin (an antioxidant) is produced giving an increasingly bitter flavor to the leaf. This tea, therefore, is rich in the theanine amino acids that produce sweet, savory flavors in the sencha.

\n

Tasting notes

\n

Wow! Steeped at about 60C/140F for about 60 seconds instead of the even lower temperature recommended above, the leaf produces a beautiful translucent yellow green color. The liquor is delicately sweet and refined with a notes of citrus in the slightly astringent aftertaste.

The young leaf buds, having been prepared since the previous fall, are filled with nutrients stocked up by the plant over the long, cold winter. This produces the highest grade of tea leaf with an extra strong flavor. A blend of machine-cut trim of the youngest, topmost leaves, and leaves handpicked from a select number of the Kinezuka family and partners' best fields at the very beginning of the shincha season this is the youngest tea leaf you can find and therefore called Hashiri Shincha 走り新茶 — literally “run to get the new tea leaves”

\n

We helped to pick this tea in 2014 at the family's annual spring tea picking event.

Steeping recommendations & Science

\n

Our recommend steeping method is to use water cooled to about 40˚C/105˚F steeped for 2-3 minutes for the best balance between sweetness and umami (savory) flavors.

\n

A more standard steeping method would be to use 3-5 grams steeping in 200 ml of water at 60C/140F for about 60 seconds. The second steep after that can be hotter water, poured in and out of your tea pot without waiting. A 3rd or 4th steep can use hotter water and a longer steep (30-60 seconds). 

\n

Remember, hotter water yields more bitterness while cooler yields sweetness. Longer time / more leaves also increases the strength of the tea.

\n

The science: theanine amino acids are plentiful at the beginning of a leaf's lifespan. As the leaf is exposed to sunlight and photosynthesis occurs, catechin (an antioxidant) is produced giving an increasingly bitter flavor to the leaf. This tea, therefore, is rich in the theanine amino acids that produce sweet, savory flavors in the sencha.

\n

Tasting notes

\n

Wow! Steeped at about 60C/140F for about 60 seconds instead of the even lower temperature recommended above, the leaf produces a beautiful translucent yellow green color. The liquor is delicately sweet and refined with a notes of citrus in the slightly astringent aftertaste.
