An extra early harvest from the popular tea farm on Yakushima Island, Kagoshima, Japan, this blend by farmer Watanabe-san is an exquisite taste of umami as a lightly steamed sencha. Package may differ from photo.
\nSteaming: Asamushi, or lightly steamed. This results a leaf that is kept more intact than longer steaming, and therefore results in a clearer, liquid that extracts more slowly from the leaf for multiple steepings. This type of steaming is usually reserved for higher quality leaf.
\n
\nOrganic certification: Note to wholesale customers, this product is grown and processed to JAS organic certification. Please contact us for proper organic export documentation. Minimum purchase may be required.
We recommend the warm water steeping method for this Yakushima Shincha. Steep it in a small amount at low temperature to enjoy the umami flavors more distinctly, then again at higher temperatures to release more flavors.

Produced by Ayumi Farms: Cyittorattu, this sencha comes from their 88th night tea harvest. This sencha was produced through their cyclic philosophy of giving back to the earth and then, receiving again from the earth. The soil of the tea bushes of this sencha are enriched with the solids discarded by a traditional local soy sauce maker, sake kasu (rice discarded after being fermented for sake), from a local brewery. Rice and wheat straw from their own farm are also placed between their tea bushes to further enrich the soil. Ayumi Farms is therefore placed within a beautiful cycle of regeneration - this is the key to a sustainable way of living. Through tea production, Ayumi Farms continues to contribute to the way agriculture has been deeply rooted in the region (i.e., Fujieda, Shizuoka prefecture).

A new single cultivar green tea, this Kirari-31 sencha comes from the award-winning Kuma Tea Gardens in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture. The Kirari-31 tea bushes were cultivated through the open-field cultivation. This tea will please you with a silky smooth mouthfeel and with its elegant and refreshing aroma. It is a tea that you will want to keep drinking.
\n
Unshaded, it will have slightly more bitter profile than sencha that have been shaded for a few days, and suited for those who like a strong-bodied green tea.

\n
A note about the Kirari 31 cultivar
\n
A cultivar that is receiving increasing attention. 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.

A new single cultivar green tea, this Kirari-31 sencha comes from the award-winning Kuma Tea Gardens in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture. The Kirari-31 tea bushes were cultivated through the open-field cultivation. This tea will please you with a silky smooth mouthfeel and with its elegant and refreshing aroma. It is a tea that you will want to keep drinking.
\n
Unshaded, it will have slightly more bitter profile than sencha that have been shaded for a few days, and suited for those who like a strong-bodied green tea.
\n
\n
A note about the Kirari 31 cultivar
\n
A cultivar that is receiving increasing attention. 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.

A note about the Kirari 31 cultivar
\n
A cultivar that is receiving increasing attention. 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.

QUALITY & BEST BY DATES
As we approach the 2025 harvest season, the spring tea from last year is close to a year old. With modern packaging, they have been sealed tightly for a year and aged - you should taste a more mellow flavor than freshly harvested leaf, but in most cases still quite delicious. The products contained here may be close to their best by dates if we procured them last April or May, so we will extend a Yunomi.life guarantee of quality for a "Yunomi.life guaranteed best by date" until Dec 2025 if the package remains unopened. If you open a 2024 tea before Dec 2025, and you feel it doesn't taste as it should, please contact us for a refund. Older tea is also nice to use for tea blending with other ingredients as well as roasting into hojicha.
