The tea leaves have subsequently undergone an indoor oxidation process through which they are carefully allowed to wither <em>(ich\u014d)<\/em> and dry. The exact duration is according to Mr Yamazaki adjusted each year, one of the main reasons why each vintage of his black teas have such a distinct character of their own.<\/p>\n<p>However, the oxidation process is generally allowed to last considerably longer compared to typical styles of Japanese black tea production. Kamo K\u014dcha teas accordingly develop unique taste and aroma profiles, which in the case of the 2020-vintage suggest notes of subtle sandalwood incense and camphor with a hint of sweet cinnamon. The result is a beautifully crafted black tea, at once mild and multi-layered, with no sense of astringency or bitterness even when brewed at high temperatures and long steeping times.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Tea trees | <span lang=\"ja\">\u8336\u6a39<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Cultivar:<\/strong> <em>Zairai <\/em>(local variant of the tea tree grown from seed)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:<\/strong> unknown<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elevation<\/strong>: 200 masl<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilisation:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cultivation method:<\/strong> natural farming (read more about organic and natural farming <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/organic-and-natural-farming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/span>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvest:<\/strong> June 2020<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Producer | <span lang=\"ja\">\u751f\u7523\u8005<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tokuya Yamazaki at Kamo Shizen N\u014den <span lang=\"ja\">\u52a0\u8302\u81ea\u7136\u8fb2\u5712<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Origin | <span lang=\"ja\">\u7523\u5730<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Kamo in Kyoto, Japan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4><span lang=\"ja\">\u52a0\u8302 \u7d05\u8336<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Japanese black tea from <em>Zairai<\/em> tea trees grown by natural farming methods and harvested in early June 2020 at Kamo Shizen N\u014den in Kamo, Kyoto.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[106,204,210,191],"product_tag":[133],"class_list":{"0":"post-10384","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-black-tea","7":"product_cat-kamo-shizen-noen-kyoto","8":"product_cat-natural-farming","9":"product_cat-tea","10":"product_tag-black-tea","12":"first","13":"outofstock","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-variable","18":"has-default-attributes"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/10384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10384"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=10384"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=10384"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=10384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
