In fact, Japan\u2019s southernmost ski slopes are also located in this particular area! The cool microclimate causes the tea trees to slow down their growth, resulting in lower annual yields but also patiently nourished and thus healthy tea leaves of excellent quality.<\/p>\n<p>At Tessad\u014d, only local plant-based fertilizing material is occasionally added to nurture the tea gardens \u2013 no pesticides nor artificial fertilizers used. The results are very honest expressions of authentic high-mountain Gokase teas harvested at approximately 600m above sea level that are naturally fragrant and refreshingly clear in taste profiles.<\/p>\n<p>Kamairicha literally means &#8216;pan-fried tea&#8217;, and it is the most common form of green tea found in the Miyazaki region. By stopping the oxidation of the tea leaves through a pan-firing process, rather than the steaming method usually employed during green tea productions in most other regions of Japan, unique aromas as well as additional sensations of warmth are added to the cup. Gokase Kamairicha becomes in this way very suitable for enjoying during the colder seasons.<\/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> 30-40 years<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elevation:<\/strong> approx. 600 masl<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shade:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilisation:<\/strong> rape seed oil cake<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cultivation method:<\/strong> pesticide og chemical fertiliser free farming<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvest:<\/strong> May 2021<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Producer | <span lang=\"ja\">\u751f\u7523\u8005<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tessad\u014d <span lang=\"ja\">\u54f2\u8336\u5802<\/span> under the leadership of Hoshikawa Tetsur\u014d <span lang=\"ja\">\u5e72\u5ddd\u54f2\u6717<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Origin | <span lang=\"ja\">\u7523\u5730<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Gokase in Miyazaki, Japan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4><span lang=\"ja\">\u4e94\u30f6\u702c \u91dc\u7092\u308a\u8336<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Pesticides and chemical fertiliser free Kamairicha from Tessad\u014d in Gokase, Miyazaki.
