Winner of the 2022 Nihoncha Awards Platinum Medal! This award is held by the Nihoncha (\"Japanese tea\") Instructor's Association. Unlike regional and national tea competitions held throughout Japan featuring the unrefined tea leaves that come from farmers, the Nihoncha Awards accepts entries from farms, factories and sellers that are commercial products, refined teas meant for drinking by consumers. Awards are given out in August judged by a select panel of experts while they over winners in several categories are chosen after tea tastings are held for the general public (several hundred tasters) in December—a people’s choice type of award.
Remember, these are just guidelines (and may differ on our label). You can and should adjust according to your preference. More tea / less water / longer time for a stronger flavor; lower temperature for more sweetness / hotter temperature for more bitterness.
Guricha, or steamed tamaryokucha, is a style of Japanese green tea that skips the very last rolling step in the sencha creation process. This last step is used to straighten the leaves into a straight shape, and skipping it leaves the tea curled.
\n
This limited edition shincha was sourced by Chakouan from deep within the mountains of the Ureshino area, famous for both its guricha as well as for its hot springs.

Unlike the ordinary matcha, Ureshino Kamairi Matcha uses kamairicha (pan-roasted green tea) that is ground into fine matcha powder with stone mill. Light, sweet, and roasted taste will be a perfect matcha for usucha (thin tea) or matcha beginners.
\n
Flavor notes
\n
It has a slightly nutty aroma and low astringency, but on the other hand very strong bitterness in our opinion. It is difficult to grade this under our standard considerations, so we recommend this for those wanting a sort of espresso version of matcha — something to use in lattes.
\n
The aftertaste appears after a few minutes of drinking and is slightly sweet.

Unlike the ordinary matcha, Ureshino Kamairi Matcha uses kamairicha (pan-roasted green tea) that is ground into fine matcha powder with stone mill. Light, sweet, and roasted taste will be a perfect matcha for usucha (thin tea) or matcha beginners.
\n
Flavor notes
\n
It has a slightly nutty aroma and low astringency, but on the other hand very strong bitterness in our opinion. It is difficult to grade this under our standard considerations, so we recommend this for those wanting a sort of espresso version of matcha — something to use in lattes.
\n
The aftertaste appears after a few minutes of drinking and is slightly sweet.

Farmer Info
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

This competition grade saemidori cultivar gyokuro from Yame, Fukuoka was cultivated using traditional canopy shading and other techniques then handpicked in a micro-batch by tea farmer Masahiro Kuma (Yame Tea Kumaen). A small batch is submitted to the National Tea Competition each year. This gyokuro holds gentle and soft nuances of round fruits such as white peach and melon.
The spring harvest was handpicked in April and won the Special \"FORTNUM & MASON BEST IN SHOW\" Award at the 2023 & 2024 Leafies Competition in the UK.
\n
This field produced 2017's 71st All Japan National Tea Competition, Gyokuro Category winning gyokuro (Minister's Award). Tea farmer Masahiro Kuma's winning gyokuro submission in 2017 was the only tea that received a perfect 200 out of 200 points.
\n
In 2019, this gyokuro won the Japanese Tea Selection Paris Grand Prix (shown in photo). This contest is judged by French food critics/scholars and they will evaluate not just the taste and aroma but also the compatibility with French cuisine as well as the packaging. Some of the comments Kuma-san received indicated that it goes well with chocolate. In 2020 as well Tenkaichi won the Bronze Medal, and in 2021 and 2022, won the Gold Medal at this competition. In 2023, Tenkaichi won the Fortnum & Mason Best in Show Award and a Gold Medal at the Leafies held in the UK.
\n
In 2024, the Tenkaichi was placed 9th at the National Tea Competition with a score of 194 / 200 points.
\n
The Name
\n
The name \"Tenkaichi\" means \"number one under the heavens\" and is used by many Japanese tea brands as their top gyokuro. But in Kuma-san's case in 2017, his gyokuro was truly the top in Japan, and fulfilled his son's Tanabata wish: \"ocha de ichiban\" --- \"to be number one in tea\" (Tanabata is the July 7th festival in which children place their wishes on bamboo branches).
\n
Another interesting bit of trivia is that Kuma-san and our other Gyokuro specialist Akio Kurihara (from Kurihara Tea Farm) are high school classmates and frequently compete against each other. In 2017, there were 100 entries and of the top 30, 24 were from Yame, Fukuoka, 4 from Kyoto, and 2 from Shizuoka. The saemidori cultivar also made up 28 of the top 30 entries.

This competition grade saemidori cultivar gyokuro from Yame, Fukuoka was cultivated using traditional canopy shading and other techniques then handpicked in a micro-batch by tea farmer Masahiro Kuma (Yame Tea Kumaen). A small batch is submitted to the National Tea Competition each year. This gyokuro holds gentle and soft nuances of round fruits such as white peach and melon.
The spring harvest was handpicked in April and won the Special \"FORTNUM & MASON BEST IN SHOW\" Award at the 2023 & 2024 Leafies Competition in the UK.
\n
This field produced 2017's 71st All Japan National Tea Competition, Gyokuro Category winning gyokuro (Minister's Award). Tea farmer Masahiro Kuma's winning gyokuro submission in 2017 was the only tea that received a perfect 200 out of 200 points.
\n
In 2019, this gyokuro won the Japanese Tea Selection Paris Grand Prix (shown in photo). This contest is judged by French food critics/scholars and they will evaluate not just the taste and aroma but also the compatibility with French cuisine as well as the packaging. Some of the comments Kuma-san received indicated that it goes well with chocolate. In 2020 as well Tenkaichi won the Bronze Medal, and in 2021 and 2022, won the Gold Medal at this competition. In 2023, Tenkaichi won the Fortnum & Mason Best in Show Award and a Gold Medal at the Leafies held in the UK.
\n
In 2024, the Tenkaichi was placed 9th at the National Tea Competition with a score of 194 / 200 points.
\n
The Name
\n
The name \"Tenkaichi\" means \"number one under the heavens\" and is used by many Japanese tea brands as their top gyokuro. But in Kuma-san's case in 2017, his gyokuro was truly the top in Japan, and fulfilled his son's Tanabata wish: \"ocha de ichiban\" --- \"to be number one in tea\" (Tanabata is the July 7th festival in which children place their wishes on bamboo branches).
\n
Another interesting bit of trivia is that Kuma-san and our other Gyokuro specialist Akio Kurihara (from Kurihara Tea Farm) are high school classmates and frequently compete against each other. In 2017, there were 100 entries and of the top 30, 24 were from Yame, Fukuoka, 4 from Kyoto, and 2 from Shizuoka. The saemidori cultivar also made up 28 of the top 30 entries.

Yunomi.life’s Women in Tea Sampler Gift Set introduces 5 different teas (10 grams each for you to sample) produced by Japanese farmers who are women.
\n
The set includes two senchas, a hojicha, a wakocha (Japanese black tea), and oolong tea to provide a diversity of different teas for you to try.
\n
In addition to the different types of teas, these teas are all different single, unblended cultivars. Please enjoy the various teas from a couple of the inspiring women working hard in the Japanese tea industry.
\n
Included with this set are the following teas:
\n
\n
\nKuma Tea Garden: Saemidori Imperial Mountain-Grown Sencha - an award-winning tea which is representative of Yame-cha (tea from Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture) with a rich umami and mellow taste. The saemidori cultivar is known for its brilliant green color, please enjoy with its pleasant sweetness.\n
\n
\nAyumi Farms (Cyittorattu): Sencha that Laughs with the Mountains - a classic yabukita cultivar sencha coming from the artisanal tea farmer Ayumi-san in Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture. Locally and organically produced, this mountain tea is characterized by its thin and delicate leaves, sweetness, and rounded aroma. \n
\n
\nKiroku Tea Garden: Okumidori Roasted Spring Tencha Amehojicha, The Sweet Roast- a unique double roasted tencha by the three women of Kiroku in Wazuka, Kyoto Prefecture. The roast is done on their single cultivar okumidori spring tencha leaves and creates a welcomed sweetness in the tea when steeped. \n
\n
\nKoukien Tea Garden: Wakocha Kanaya Midori Single Cultivar Black Tea - This Japanese black tea or wakocha comes from sisters Yurie and Akane who are focusing their effort into wakocha production. Made at the foot of the mountains in Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture, the kanaya midori cultivar produces a slightly more creamy flavor profile than other cultivars when made into black tea.\n
\n
\nAzuma Tea Garden: Kyoto Oolong Tea, Single Cultivar Uji Midori - an oolong tea made with the uji midori cultivar in Wazuka, Kyoto Prefecture. What is interesting is that without using pesticides, small insects called unka populate the field in the early summer and damage the leaves in a way that turns into a delicious flavor when the leaves are withered into oolong tea (magic!).\n
\n
As a bonus we will also include another 2 types of tea from women producers.
\n

Tencha is the ingredient used to make matcha. It consists of leaves that have been shaded usually about 4 weeks prior to harvest, and that have been steamed and dried without rolling into the needle shape you see with other types of green tea from Japan. The rolling process breaks down cell membranes in the leaf releasing different flavor compounds, and tencha skips this process offering, in leaf form, a light, sweet tea.
\n
Before grinding into matcha, the unrefined (aracha) tencha leaves are sifted to remove dust and leaf stems, then are chopped to create more even flakes. It is this state that provided in this product.
\n
We recommend you trying it with its matcha counterpart!
Cultivar: Yabukita (Yabukita Matcha counterpart). Identified in 1908 by Sugiyama Hikosaburo in Shizuoka, and officially registered in 1953, the yabukita cultivar is the most common tea plant cultivar in Japan with an approximately 80% share. The rich flavor of the leaves makes it popular for sencha, but it provides a weaker umami taste and is not usually used for matcha as a result.

Unlike the ordinary matcha, Ureshino Kamairi Matcha uses kamairicha (pan-roasted green tea) that is ground into fine matcha powder with stone mill. Light, sweet, and roasted taste will be a perfect matcha for usucha (thin tea) or matcha beginners.
\n
Flavor notes
\n
Creamy with a nutty aroma and low astringency, but on the other hand quite strong bitterness. It is difficult to grade this under our standard considerations, so we recommend this for those wanting a sort of espresso version of matcha.
\n
The aftertaste appears after a few minutes of drinking and is slightly sweet.

Unlike the ordinary matcha, Ureshino Kamairi Matcha uses kamairicha (pan-roasted green tea) that is ground into fine matcha powder with stone mill. Light, sweet, and roasted taste will be a perfect matcha for usucha (thin tea) or matcha beginners.
\n
Flavor notes
\n
Creamy with a nutty aroma and low astringency, but on the other hand quite strong bitterness. It is difficult to grade this under our standard considerations, so we recommend this for those wanting a sort of espresso version of matcha.
\n
The aftertaste appears after a few minutes of drinking and is slightly sweet.

Use a spoon to scoop 1 heaping of powder (about half a gram) for every 100-150 ml of hot water.
\n
For cold steeping, use 1 teaspoon per liter of water.
\n
We also recommend that you use a small amount of water and mix with the sifted powder into paste first to get rid of clumps.

About the Tea Farmer \n
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

Leaves from the Okinawa-grown tsubaki, or camellia japonica (a relative of camellia sinensis or tea), have a high level of an ellagic acid called Okicamelliaside (GOOGLE SEARCH).
\n
STUDY: Okicamelliaside, an extraordinarily potent anti-degranulation glucoside isolated from leaves of Camellia japonica (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21150097, Download full article here) ABSTRACT: Guided by anti-degranulation assays, we isolated from leaves of Camellia japonica an ellagic acid glucoside named okicamelliaside. The structure was elucidated as 3,4-dioxoloellagic acid 4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Okicamelliaside was 12,000 times more potent than the antihistaminic drug, ketotifen fumarate, in inhibiting the degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells. Three other studies cataloged on Pubmed.gov
Place one tea bag into a cup and pour 200 cc (6.8 fl oz) of hot water. Wait for about 1 minute and take out the tea bag. Tea is ready to be served! Enjoy second and third steep with the same tea bag.

In tea and other very traditional industries you rarely see women in leading roles. But they do exist and this collection is meant to highlight those women who are challenging the status quo. As a criteria for inclusion, we feature products from producers where women take a visible role of leadership becoming role models for other women in this male dominated society. They are farmers, CEOs, business owners, and in some cases were women are front and center as the face of their family businesses (though their husbands and fathers might still be sitting at the head of the table, for now).
And we are just getting started! (read about why we started this effort here) We hope to add many more to this collection, so please join us as we explore great products from the women of Japan.
TIP: If you are browsing other collections, add "/womenintea" to the end of the URL to filter for products from women, or click on the "Women in Tea" box in the Notes filter.
