Farm Introduction
\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.
Gyokuro Karigane is a blend of the leaf stems filtered out during the refinement of Uejima Tea Farm's gyokuro products. This leaf stem tea (kukicha) is given the more refined name of karigane, literally the \"sound of geese\". Karigane is a term mainly utilised in the Kyoto area of Japan and the term evokes the elegance of Japanese geese carrying a twig as it migrates across the Sea of Japan. When it tires, it places the twig in the water and rests on it... (very poetic!) or so the legend goes.
\n
\n
If you are not too familiar with kukicha, one may wonder why people drink tea made from leaf stalks instead of regular leaf tea. It is because the stalks of green tea are also rich in nutrients, contain umami flavor, and have a pleasant aroma and flavor. In fact, stalks and stems receive less sunlight compared to leaves which result in less production of catechins and more sweet notes (umami) in brewed tea. This karigane from gyokuro leaf stems is definitely worth trying, coming from the famous tea producing region of Wazuka and well-known tea farmer Uejima-san!
Noriyasu Uejima is a hard working and humble tea master. In the 90+ year old tea tasting competition held in Kyoto, he is the only winner to ever achieve a perfect score. Cultivating and processing some of Kyoto's finest teas, the Ritz Carlton Hotel of Kyoto features his teas in their line up for guests. He is the 5th generation master farmer carrying on a tradition that dates back to the mid-19th century when his ancestor started the Uejima family as a branch family of an even older main family. The farm also operates the Wazuka Village's Wazuka Cha Cafe.
Uejima-san below gives a simple introduction about the Wazuka valley

Roasted Tencha Stems, in Japanese: Tenbone Houjicha (てん骨ほうじ茶) is made from the small amount of stems and veins of removed from Tencha(てん茶) during refinement while larger branch stems are made into Obubu's Suzume Hojicha. Tencha are the high grade unrolled tea leaves used to make matcha tea powder. Because you drink the entire leaf when you drink matcha, the leaves used for matcha tea powder need to be as sweet as possible. So when Tencha is created, Akky covers the tea plants for up to four weeks to reduce the amount of catechin (which creates bitterness) as much as possible.
\n
In the process of making matcha, the dried, unrolled tencha tea leaves are then separated into two groups, soft and tough parts. The tough parts are the stems and veins and they are called tenbone (tencha no hone, the bones of tencha).
\n
Akky has taken these bones of the tencha and lightly roasted them to produce a mild yet luxurious flavor. Enjoy the elegance of Tenbone Houjicha and all its sweetness and aroma!

Roasted Tencha Stems (Tenbone Houjicha)
\n
Roasted Tencha Stems, in Japanese: Tenbone Houjicha (てん骨ほうじ茶) is made from the small amount of stems and veins of removed from Tencha(てん茶) during refinement while larger branch stems are made into Obubu's Suzume Hojicha. Tencha are the high grade unrolled tea leaves used to make matcha tea powder. Because you drink the entire leaf when you drink matcha, the leaves used for matcha tea powder need to be as sweet as possible. So when Tencha is created, Akky covers the tea plants for up to four weeks to reduce the amount of catechin (which creates bitterness) as much as possible.
\n
In the process of making matcha, the dried, unrolled tencha tea leaves are then separated into two groups, soft and tough parts. The tough parts are the stems and veins and they are called tenbone (tencha no hone, the bones of tencha).
\n
Akky has taken these bones of the tencha and lightly roasted them to produce a mild yet luxurious flavor. Enjoy the elegance of Tenbone Houjicha and all its sweetness and aroma!

Since 2011, Masami Ishizaki has operated the small non-profit, Ashigaracha Labo, dedicated to educating consumers about Japanese tea, and tea from the Ashigara region in particular (Cities of Minami Ashigara and Odawara where Yunomi is based).
\n
For the last several years she has also been renting tea fields from the region's aging tea farmers to try her hand at tea cultivation. She has been at the current location in Ogikubo, Odawara, and is cultivating Yabukita tea leaves without the use of pesticides with her son and the NPO's supporters.

This sencha was produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth.

Use hotter water for more bitterness, cooler water for more sweetness
Rainforest Alliance certified, family-owned tea farm, Wakoen Co., Ltd., presents a premium, deep steamed fukamushicha green tea, Kaori - meaning \"aroma\".
\n
This tea is shaded for 7-10 days to increase its umami flavor and reduce bitterness, and is then deep-steamed (steamed for a longer than usual amount of time), which creates a very soft leaf, broken into fragments during rolling. This creates a deep, richly flavored and beautifully opaque green tea.
\nResteep up to 3 times. The second resteeping can be quick, water in and out as the leaves are already primed. Using hotter water may also extract stronger flavor in subsequent steeps.
\n
Use cooler water for sweeter flavors, hotter water for more bitter flavors
\n
Use more tea leaves, less water, or longer time for greater strength of flavor.
One of Japan's largest family owned tea farms, the Horiguchi family has been operating since 1948 and currently manages 120 hectares directly with another 100 hectares cultivated by contract partner farms. The company is certified FSSC22000, the top food safety standard globally, Rainforest Alliance certified, and certified to product organic tea.
\n
Cultivation utilizes mechanical pest controls: their machines Hurricane King utilizes wind and water pressure to blow away insects, and Steam Buster SL uses steam to kill weeds.

Rainforest Alliance certified, family-owned tea farm, Wakoen Co., Ltd., presents a premium, deep steamed fukamushicha green tea, Kaori - meaning \"aroma\".
\n
This tea is shaded for 7-10 days to increase its umami flavor and reduce bitterness, and is then deep-steamed (steamed for a longer than usual amount of time), which creates a very soft leaf, broken into fragments during rolling. This creates a deep, richly flavored and beautifully opaque green tea.
\nResteep up to 3 times. The second resteeping can be quick, water in and out as the leaves are already primed. Using hotter water may also extract stronger flavor in subsequent steeps.
\n
Use cooler water for sweeter flavors, hotter water for more bitter flavors
\n
Use more tea leaves, less water, or longer time for greater strength of flavor.
One of Japan's largest family owned tea farms, the Horiguchi family has been operating since 1948 and currently manages 120 hectares directly with another 100 hectares cultivated by contract partner farms. The company is certified FSSC22000, the top food safety standard globally, Rainforest Alliance certified, and certified to product organic tea.
\n
Cultivation utilizes mechanical pest controls: their machines Hurricane King utilizes wind and water pressure to blow away insects, and Steam Buster SL uses steam to kill weeds.
\n

3rd generation tea farmer Hiroki Matsumoto manages some 30 fields in the Kiriyama region of the Makinohara plain in Shimada, Shizuoka. He utilizes the UNESCO designated World Heritage agricultural tradition, Chagusaba, to cultivate his tea leaves. This tradition requires farmers to cultivate sasa grasses surrounding the tea fields, and use the grasses as fertilizer in the fields.
\n
Regular steamed tea leaves create a balanced sencha green tea.
