The leaves brew a bright golden tea with a clean, honey-sweet, and subtly floral profile offering numerous good infusions at high temperatures \u2013 a testamony to the fine quality of the original leaf material.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the other Kamairicha teas from Mitocha N\u014den, Yamazoe Kamairicha &#8216;Raw&#8217; has not undergone a final roasting process. The non-roasted and as such \u2018raw\u2018 <span lang=\"ja\">(\u751f\u8336<\/span> <em>namacha)<\/em> character of the tea leaves provides a lighter and somewhat milder expression in the cup. This sense of mildness is, however, balanced by the long maturation period since the spring harvest in May 2021.<\/p>\n<p>As the tea leaves slowly rest and mature, depth and body gradually develop. This maturation process may easily be extended further &#8211; as is the case with the other Kamairicha teas from Mitocha N\u014den. But Yamazoe Kamairicha \u2018Raw\u2019 is absolutely ripe for enjoying at the present moment, too.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Tea trees | <span lang=\"ja\">\u8336\u6a39<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Cultivar:<\/strong> Okuyutaka<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:<\/strong> 35-40 years<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elevation:<\/strong> 300-400 masl<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shade:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilisation:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cultivation method:<\/strong> natural farming (read more about organic and natural farming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/organic-and-natural-farming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvest:<\/strong> May 2024<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Production method | <span lang=\"ja\">\u88fd\u8336\u65b9\u6cd5<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Drying:<\/strong> approx. two days in sunny weather<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roasting<\/strong><em><strong>:<\/strong><\/em> none<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Producer | <span lang=\"ja\">\u751f\u7523\u8005<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Kayashita family at Mitocha N\u014den <span lang=\"ja\">\u307f\u3068\u3061\u3083\u8fb2\u5712<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Origin | <span lang=\"ja\">\u7523\u5730<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Yamazoe in Nara, Japan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4><span lang=\"ja\">\u5c71\u6dfb \u751f\u8336 \u91dc\u7092\u308a\u8336<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Sun-dried and pan-fired <em>(kamairi)<\/em> whole-leaf kamairicha made in the local and today rare Kumano Bancha style.<\/h5>\n<h5>Grown by natural farming methods without any use of pesticides or fertilizers by Mr and Mrs Kayashita of Mitocha N\u014den in Yamazoe, Nara.<\/h5>\n<p><em style=\"font-size: 20px;\">heather honey \u2013 nectarine \u2013 pine resin<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[151,205,210,191],"product_tag":[150,135],"class_list":["post-11184","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-kamairicha-tea","product_cat-mitocha-noen-yamazoe","product_cat-natural-farming","product_cat-tea","product_tag-kamairicha-en","product_tag-unika-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable","has-default-attributes"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11184","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=11184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=11184"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11184"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
