Densho Premium Kamairicha green tea is produced from the youngest (earliest May harvest) leaves of 60-year old tea bushes grown from seed (zairai) and then blended with similarly premium okuyataka cultivar tea leaves. Because the main zairai tea bushes are located on a steep slope (at least 30 degrees), the tea is made with a lot of care and effort. Yes, the tea work on this farm can even be dangerous at times! Made through the traditional kamairicha producing method, this tea has a relatively strong scent but is refreshing to drink. Kamairicha (literally pan-fired tea) is a type of tea processing method that was brought from China in the 15th-16th century. Instead of steaming the leaf to stop oxidization, a processor will instead lightly heat the leaf in a pan to stop oxidization. It is then rolled while drying. Kamairicha products are mostly made in the Kyushu region. Product Info Ingredients: Green tea Cultivar(s): Zairai main with Okuyutaka Harvest: Spring Region: Tsuge village, Ashikita town, Kumamoto Note(s): pan-fired instead of steamed Steeping Recommendation from Kajihara-san Tea: 5 grams Time: 60 sec Water: 90C/194F, 200 ml Notes: To steep kamairicha, it is best to steep in a higher temperature of about 90 degrees Celsius. This will ensure producing the richness of kamairicha. In general, teas give out “umami” with lower temperatures and scent and “shibumi” (astringency) can be achieved through higher temperatures. Kajihara-san suggests experimenting day-to-day depending on your state of being (mood, health, etc).
