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.

"},{"id":6677770240105,"title":"#0752.S5 Mandara Green Tea Sampler Set by Kadode Ooigawa, Shizuoka - 4 steaming levels vs 4 green-roasting levels. (16 tea bags)","handle":"mandara-green-tea-by-kadode-ooigawa","description":"

The set includes 16 different tea bags with tea of 4 different steaming levels vs 4 different green roasting levels.

\n

Green roasting is a post-production refinement heating process that reduces the moisture in dry, unrefined leaf from 5-6% to 1-2%. Stronger roasts create a toastier flavor.

\n

Steaming the leaves is the first step in the processing of Japanese green tea and can range from 20 seconds to 90 seconds (the degree of steaming also affected by the size of the leaf as well). The lighter that a leaf is steamed, the more it retains its shape producing a translucent, yellowish tea that is light and delicate. A longer steaming breaks up the leaf more, producing a sweeter, stronger bodied, opaque green tea.

\n

Taste the range of flavors from this amazing set, and study how the leaf is affected by these two key production steps.

\n

Steeping

\n

The creators of the set provides a chart with English indicating the steaming levels vs green roasting levels on the top and right sides. On the left side it indicates steeping temperature and on the bottom it indicates steeping time.

\n

Our recommendation however is to use the exact same steeping parameters on all teas: 70C/160F degrees, for 90 seconds, 200 ml of water.

In November 2020, a new tea-themed amusement park opened in conjunction with the launch of a new train station on the Ooigawa Train Line in Shimada, Shizuoka. The facility, owned by Shimada City, was created in conjunction with local businesses including several tea producers (farming coops and factories) who came together to create the Mandara Green Tea set.

The set includes 16 different tea bags with tea of 4 different steaming levels vs 4 different green roasting levels.

\n

Green roasting is a post-production refinement heating process that reduces the moisture in dry, unrefined leaf from 5-6% to 1-2%. Stronger roasts create a toastier flavor.

\n

Steaming the leaves is the first step in the processing of Japanese green tea and can range from 20 seconds to 90 seconds (the degree of steaming also affected by the size of the leaf as well). The lighter that a leaf is steamed, the more it retains its shape producing a translucent, yellowish tea that is light and delicate. A longer steaming breaks up the leaf more, producing a sweeter, stronger bodied, opaque green tea.

\n

Taste the range of flavors from this amazing set, and study how the leaf is affected by these two key production steps.

\n

Steeping

\n

The creators of the set provides a chart with English indicating the steaming levels vs green roasting levels on the top and right sides. On the left side it indicates steeping temperature and on the bottom it indicates steeping time.

\n

Our recommendation however is to use the exact same steeping parameters on all teas: 70C/160F degrees, for 90 seconds, 200 ml of water.

See video for Japanese introduction of the facility by SBS News

\n

In November 2020, a new tea-themed amusement park opened in conjunction with the launch of a new train station on the Ooigawa Train Line in Shimada, Shizuoka. The facility, owned by Shimada City, was created in conjunction with local businesses including several tea producers (farming coops and factories) who came together to create the Mandara Green Tea set.

\n

Komatsu Naomi of Kanes Tea Factory always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of Yunomi.life.

\n

This yabukita cultivar tea leaf was shaded for 5 days before harvest beneath traditional straw shading (the kind used in heritage grade gyokuro and matcha). This creates the exquisitely balanced sweetness.

\n

It was handpicked with the 30 pluckers directed to choose only the bud and first leaf for the most delicate needle. Only 3kg were harvested of which we have 1kg.

\n

Then, light steamed (asamushi), the leaf remains intact, allowing a very careful crafting of the leaves into perfect needles, resulting in a translucent golden liquor.

\n

Finally, the finishing of the tea is done by hand, filtering out tea fannings and stems, the slowly green-roasted on a tradition Japanese washi paper table for about 8 min (heated to 77C, with the leaf heating to about 45C). The table itself was heated with bamboo charcoal (binchotan) with the heat adjusted by adding ash created from straw.

\n

To prevent the needles from breaking in transit to you, the tea is packaged in mini matte black cans. Note: limit of 50g per customer.

\n

 

\n

Steeping notes

\n

Tea: 2-3 grams. Time: 1-2 min. Water: 50C/122F, 30 ml.

\n

The 2nd steeping may use hotter water, steeping for 10-15 seconds. I prefer 70C/158F and 200 ml of water. Subsequent steepings may require more time - generally 60 seconds. A final steeping can be of cold water, 500 ml, and left in the refrigerator overnight for a light, refreshing iced tea the next morning.

\n

Alternatively, steep it under ice, allowing the ice to steep the tea leaf as it melts.

\n

Recommended tea ware: Shiboridashi

Then, light steamed (asamushi), the leaf remains intact, allowing a very careful crafting of the leaves into perfect needles, resulting in a translucent golden liquor.

\n

Finally, the finishing of the tea is done by hand, filtering out tea fannings and stems, the slowly green-roasted on a tradition Japanese washi paper table for about 8 min (heated to 77C, with the leaf heating to about 45C). The table itself was heated with bamboo charcoal (binchotan) with the heat adjusted by adding ash created from straw.

\n

To prevent the needles from breaking in transit to you, the tea is packaged in mini matte black cans. Note: limit of 50g per customer.

Steeping notes

\n

Tea: 2-3 grams. Time: 1-2 min. Water: 50C/122F, 30 ml.

\n

The 2nd steeping may use hotter water, steeping for 10-15 seconds. I prefer 70C/158F and 200 ml of water. Subsequent steepings may require more time - generally 60 seconds. A final steeping can be of cold water, 500 ml, and left in the refrigerator overnight for a light, refreshing iced tea the next morning.

\n

Alternatively, steep it under ice, allowing the ice to steep the tea leaf as it melts.

\n

Recommended tea ware: Shiboridashi

\"Naomi
\n

Komatsu Naomi of Kanes Tea Factory always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of Yunomi.life.

\n

Working closely with their partner farm in Shizuoka bringing knowledge from researchers, Kanes Tea and their partner has achieved a very high level of GABA in this oolong tea.

\n

GABA, or more specifically \"ϒ-aminobutyric acid\", is a component in tea created when it the leaf is incubated in nitrogen gas (an oxygen free or anaerobic environment).

\n

This process is often referred to as \"fermentation\", but the term implies a change due to yeast or bacteria, while the specific process of creating the tea depends on the producer. At Kanes, they are not fermenting but wilting the leaves in a proprietary process to create this extra high level of GABA.

\n

Many people claim this compound has health benefits, but we always stress here at Yunomi.life that this is unproven and may depend on each individual's body.

\"Naomi
\n

Komatsu Naomi of Kanes Tea Factory always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of Yunomi.life.

\n

Working closely with their partner farm in Shizuoka bringing knowledge from researchers, Kanes Tea and their partner has achieved a very high level of GABA in this oolong tea.

\n

GABA, or more specifically \"ϒ-aminobutyric acid\", is a component in tea created when it the leaf is incubated in nitrogen gas (an oxygen free or anaerobic environment).

\n

This process is often referred to as \"fermentation\", but the term implies a change due to yeast or bacteria, while the specific process of creating the tea depends on the producer. At Kanes, they are not fermenting but wilting the leaves in a proprietary process to create this extra high level of GABA.

\n

Many people claim this compound has health benefits, but we always stress here at Yunomi.life that this is unproven and may depend on each individual's body.

In Japanese, the name of this tea – Kirameki no Sencha or きらめきの煎茶 – carries the nuance of shimmering light as it dances on and through cool, refreshing water. Shaded for two weeks before harvest, the leaves produced create a tea that is light and refreshing, perfect as a cool drink to quench your thirst on hot summer days.

\n

Grown on a south facing hillside, the fields have good exposure to the sun and wind. Combining the strong summer sun, more mature leaves, and the two-week covering technique used in producing Obubu's Kabuse Sencha, the characteristic of Kirameki no Sencha leaves is that its sweetness is light and refreshing.

Farm Notes

\n

Over 15 years ago, Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms president and founder, Akihiro \"Akky\" Kita, visited Wazuka, Kyoto. The tea produced in this rural district is known as Ujicha, one of the highest quality, premium teas in Japan. Akky was a college student in search of his life’s calling. Inspired by a single cup of Ujicha drunk at its source, Akihiro’s passion for green tea was born.

In Japanese, the name of this tea – Kirameki no Sencha or きらめきの煎茶 – carries the nuance of shimmering light as it dances on and through cool, refreshing water. Shaded for two weeks before harvest, the leaves produced create a tea that is light and refreshing, perfect as a cool drink to quench your thirst on hot summer days.

\n

Grown on a south facing hillside, the fields have good exposure to the sun and wind. Combining the strong summer sun, more mature leaves, and the two-week covering technique used in producing Obubu's Kabuse Sencha, the characteristic of Kirameki no Sencha leaves is that its sweetness is light and refreshing.

Farm Notes

\n

Over 15 years ago, Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms president and founder, Akihiro \"Akky\" Kita, visited Wazuka, Kyoto. The tea produced in this rural district is known as Ujicha, one of the highest quality, premium teas in Japan. Akky was a college student in search of his life’s calling. Inspired by a single cup of Ujicha drunk at its source, Akihiro’s passion for green tea was born. After fifteen years of learning to master the art of growing premium tea leaves from master tea farmers in Wazuka, Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms was born. The name Obubu itself comes from the slang of Kyoto and means tea.

\n

Komatsu Naomi of Kanes Tea Factory always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of Yunomi.life.

\n

Working closely with their partner farm in Shizuoka bringing knowledge from researchers, Kanes Tea and their partner has achieved a very high level of GABA in this oolong tea.

\n

GABA, or more specifically \"ϒ-aminobutyric acid\", is a component in tea created when it the leaf is incubated in nitrogen gas (an oxygen free or anaerobic environment).

\n

This process is often referred to as \"fermentation\", but the term implies a change due to yeast or bacteria, while the specific process of creating the tea depends on the producer. At Kanes, they are not fermenting but wilting the leaves in a proprietary process to create this extra high level of GABA.

\n

Many people claim this compound has health benefits, but we always stress here at Yunomi.life that this is unproven and may depend on each individual's body.

Only a very small amount of National Tea Competition level competition grade handrolled shincha is available, and it is made available after the competition in August, right at the time of the peak season for meteor showers - nagareboshi 流星 in Japanese.

This tea was handpicked for perfect leaf shape and quality, light steamed (asamushicha, again to preserve shape), and finally handrolled for 4-5 hours by master tea craftsmen to create these perfect needles.

\n

An experience for all tea connoisseurs, expect a translucent yellow liquor, with feathery, dry, green notes that bring you into the spring tea fields and a lingering buttery aftertaste.

Only a very small amount of National Tea Competition level competition grade handrolled shincha is available, and it is made available after the competition in August, right at the time of the peak season for meteor showers - nagareboshi 流星 in Japanese.

\n

This tea was handpicked for perfect leaf shape and quality, light steamed (asamushicha, again to preserve shape), and finally handrolled for 4-5 hours by master tea craftsmen to create these perfect needles.

\n

An experience for all tea connoisseurs, expect a translucent yellow liquor, with feathery, dry, green notes that bring you into the spring tea fields and a lingering buttery aftertaste.

Organically produced asamushicha (light steamed tea) from a small family-run farm, Koukien Tea Garden in Kirishima, Kagoshima. Kirishima tea is infamous for its fragrance and sweet flavor. This is a kabusecha (shaded tea) so it is low in bitterness and well-balanced with a refreshing and sweet flavor.

About the Tea 

\n"},{"id":9023221893,"title":"#0433.F2 Kuma Tea Garden: Tenkaichi 天下一 Yamecha Gyokuro Saemidori Heritage Grade - 71st All Japan Tea Competition Grand Prize Winning Garden","handle":"kuma-tea-gardens-saemidori-gyokuro-tenkaichi-71st-all-japan-tea-competition-grand-prize-winning-garden","description":"

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.

Awards

\n

This 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.

Awards

\n

This 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.

Kaneta Ota Tea Garden

Included among the 130+ awards that Ota Masataka, the tea garden master, has won over the years, are the Emperor's Cup awarded as a special honor to the country's top farmers, and the top National Tea Competition Minister's Award...3 years straight from 2017 - 2019 in the 4kg Sencha category.

A special, premium light steamed sencha, extra early spring harvest from the mountains of Kawane Village, Shizuoka, just 30kg of yabukita cultivar tea leaf was carefully picked by handheld scissors just after the first bud and two leaves appeared. The leaves at this time were still in their yellowish green state, extremely young and tender, and lightly steamed to preserve their fine shape.

\n

This comes from a young, independent farmer, Ishima Sachio-san, training under his father Etsuro at the Marufuto Tea Garden, cousins of Kanes Tea’s Komatsu Naomi. The interconnected nature of Japanese tea family businesses is on full display here as Sachio-san’s leaf is refined by the Komatsu family of Kanes.

\n

Sachio-san is proving to be a very talented farmer whose skill shows through in this yabukita, grown unshaded yet delicately sweet—yabukita is the most commonly grown cultivar in Japan and often more bitter, but when cultivated by expert hands, is often sencha at its highest level.

\n

The Ishima family has been cultivating tea from at least 1730, and Sachio-san will be its 9th generation master. Their brand name marufuto (see box photo) meaning thick (Maru refers to the circle, futoi means thick) was created by Komatsu-san’s grandfather wishing for a strong, long lasting farm.

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.

\n

Also available in 10g and 100g sizes

\n

Awards

\n

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.

Also available in 10g and 100g sizes

\n

Awards

\n

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.

Tea farmer Nemoto Hiroki

\n

This tea was handpicked for perfect leaf shape and quality, light steamed (asamushicha, again to preserve shape), and finally handrolled for 4-5 hours by master tea craftsmen to create these perfect needles.

\n

An experience for all tea connoisseurs, expect a translucent yellow liquor, with feathery, dry, green notes that bring you into the spring tea fields and a lingering buttery aftertaste.
