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

Sait\u014d Chaen is nestled deep in the mountainous Honyama terroir in Shizuoka, where mist from the Abe and Warashina rivers as well as significant temperature differences between night and day create ideal conditions for growing fine green tea. Here, Mr. Sait\u014d grows numerous different varieties of the tea tree, although with Yabukita as the main cultivar (see our Suruga Tokuj\u014d Sencha<\/a><\/span> and Suruga Tedzumi Sencha<\/a><\/span>), and his Honyama B\u014dcha presents a unique product combining each of them.<\/p>\n

During the spring harvest, stems and coarser leaves are sorted from Sait\u014d Chaen’s main sencha productions. This sorted material is subsequently blended across cultivars, lightly steamed (<\/em>asamushi)<\/i> and finished with a hi-ire<\/em> post-firing in traditional Shizuoka style.<\/i><\/p>\n

The result is a rustic and wholesome stem-based tea \u2013 b\u014dcha<\/em> \u68d2\u8336<\/span> directly translates to ‘stick tea’ \u2013 also known in Japan as kukicha<\/em> or karigane<\/em> depending on the region. There is virtually no bitterness to be found in the cup, even when brewed at high temperatures (+90\u00b0C). Rather, one is greeted by both warm and refreshing sweet sensations with hints of cantaloupe melon, lemon peel, and buttered greens.<\/p>\n

The large amount of stems are moreover naturally low in caffeine content, bestowing the tea with a comforting and calming character. Honyama B\u014dcha is as such an ideal daily tea \u2013 robust and modest, carrying calm spring greetings from the mountains of Honyama.<\/p>\n
