Pan Fired Kamairicha Miyazaki Sabou

Compared to the Kamairicha from Mr. Issin, this tea has a lighter and less roasted taste profile. The taste begins with this mild yet noticeable roasted cereal characteristic and later it develops more of these vegetable characteristics. It starts to drift into the seaweedy direction with some savory flavors, but not quite like a Gyokuro. The finish is long with a hint of dryness. The second steeping takes on slightly more bitterness, but still maintains these starchy cereal notes. The finish is fresh and citrusy, with a nice minerality.

This packet contains 100 grams of tea, enough to make 20 pots or 60 cups Meet the Farmer For a long time, Miyazaki Akira struggled to grow tea only using organic fertilizers. His harvest depended on the weather and the insects, and some years the yield would be quite low. He soon learned that rather than try to control nature, he should try to coexist with it. If the tea plants are grown in accordance to nature, the land will allow the plants to thrive. After learning to accept this, he was able to produce years of great quality tea, all without harming the natural beauty of Gokase. About the Farm This tea was grown in the mountains of Gokase in Miyazaki prefecture. Although Kamairicha is a relatively rare tea, this region has become famous for it. The farm of Miyazaki Sabou hasn't used pesticides on their field in the last 40 years and they produce all of their teas organically. The high elevation of the tea field and the mild weather of southern Japan makes for the perfect growing conditions for premium teas.
