The Cultivar - Kirari 31
\n
The Kirari 31 is a cultivar that is receiving increasing attention in recent years. 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.
From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea (Kirari 31) harvested on April 12, 2023, and rolled by hand for 6.5 hours.

The Yokota Tea Garden processed this tea using the \"ichoka\" method, in which the harvested tea leaves are withered to enhance their scent. It was also steamed for a long time to enhance the rich flavor. Grown by 4th, 5th, and 6th generation tea farmers in the famous Sayama region of Saitama prefecture.

A delicious green tea for your daily cup, the first steeping of Kurihara-san's Hime Kaori offers a smooth balance between sweet and astringent flavors with a hint of roast, perfect for a nice moment of relaxation.
First steeping: 5 grams of tea, 1 minute, 70C/158F degrees, 200 ml water
Primed for flavor extraction, second steeping will come out strong, so pour your hot water into the pot, and immediately out into your cup. The astringency will be noticeable for a strong, full-bodied tea with a hint of sweet but tangy citrus.
Second steeping: 10-20 seconds, 90C/194F degrees, 200 ml water
Grown by the Kurihara brothers in the back hills of Yame, in a small village of a 1000 people called Yabemura.
