Overview
The Yabukita cultivar is the standard in Japan representing 75% of Japanese tea fields. The bitterness in this cultivar makes for a balanced black tea. Steeping Info Tea: 3 grams Time: 5 min Water: 95˚C/203˚F, 200 ml Product Info Ingredients: Black Tea Cultivar: Yabukita Harvest: Summer Region: Yoshiwara, Shizuoka, Japan Terrain: Mountain-grown, single tea field Farm Introduction 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. 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). Murakami-san began producing black tea just a few years ago but has been winning awards in Japan for his production. Farm Info Name: Murakami Tea Garden Type: Family-owned and operated farm Established: Late 19th century Production capacity: About 1300 kg per year. The family only harvests the spring first flush harvest. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hiroki Murakami (@poncho280gan)
