Description | \u8a73\u7d30<\/span><\/h4>\n

Suruga Y\u016bki N\u014dj\u014d Ky\u014dd\u014d Kumiai<\/em> \u3059\u308b\u304c\u6709\u6a5f\u8fb2\u5834\u5171\u540c\u7d44\u5408<\/span> (Suruga Organic Farming Cooperative) is a cooperative of three tea producers \u2013 Sait\u014d-san, Iwasaki-san and Nishiyama-san \u2013 who cultivate and produce tea in the neighboring regions of Honyama and Shimizu, both traditional Shizuoka terroirs. Sait\u014d-san, Iwasaki-san and Nishiyama-san create both their own and collective productions with tea leaves harvested from each other’s tea gardens, and they share the same great commitment to pesticide- and artificial fertiliser free farming methods (all tea gardens of all three tea producers have been cultivated without any use of agrochemicals for several decades, certified under the Japanese organic standard JAS).<\/p>\n

Their Suruga Tedzumi Sencha is harvested in early spring with an equal distribution of tea leaves (50\/50) from Sait\u014d-san’s Sait\u014d Chaen in Honyama and Iwasaki-san’s Jishabatake in Shimizu. The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand-picking (tedzumi)<\/em> \u2013 in this case as one bud, two leaves.<\/p>\n

Today, almost all modern Japanese tea is harvested using machines, and Suruga Tedzumi Sencha offers as such a rare chance to experience the uncompromising craftsmanship of hand-picked Japanese green tea. The young spring buds and leaves are picked from approximately 25-year-old Yabukita tea trees and finished with an elegant hi-ire<\/i> post-firing in orthodox Shizuoka style. The final hi-ire<\/em> adds a subtle but characteristically warm note to the tea leaves, highlighting their inherently deep spectrum of fragrances that calls to mind pistachio, fresh wild herbs, and grilled white fish. <\/span>There is no explosion of umami here, but instead a highly delicate balance between natural sweetness and a refreshingly clean sense of astringency, which almost vibrates in the mouth as a fine aftertaste long after the last sip.<\/p>\n
