  • Sencha – Japan’S Green Tea
    Sencha – Japan’s green tea Sencha (煎茶) is Japan's most consumed and also the most produced tea variety. This green tea owes its popularity due to the refreshing taste and the numerous variations. Depending on the time of harvesting a Sencha can either get a sweet or tarty taste. For Sencha is usally the outstanding variety Yabukita used which makes up about 77% of all cultivated tea cultivars. But, depending on terroir, are also completely different varieties such as Yutakamidori or Asatsuyu used. Varieties of Sencha Sencha can be divided into many different categories. But mainly, it is is distinguished by harvest time and steaming duration. A very early harvested Sencha for example is generally of a higher quality and the tea leaves are finer than a later harvested (eg. Bancha). Asamushi (浅 虫), Sencha which was only slightly steamed (about 30s). Chumushi, Sencha with medium steaming (30-90s). This is the standard steaming time. Fukamushi (深 蒸し), deep steamed Sencha (1-2 min). It is often marketed as Fukamushicha. Jo Sencha (上 煎茶), fine Sencha. Toku Jo Sencha, (特 上 煎茶), extra fine Sencha. Hachijuhachiya Sencha (八 十八 夜), tea that was harvested 88 days (literally nights) after Risshun, the beginning of spring. Shincha (新 茶) is the first harvest of a year. Kabusecha or Kabuse Sencha is like Gyokuro a shaded tea. It's often regarded as a own tea variety. Production of Sencha Sencha is nowadays mostly harvested by machine and immediately steamed in order to prevent oxidation (kill green). This method, also called the Japanese method, ensures that the tea tastes very fresh.

  • The Story of Gyokuro “Chiisana Ocha No Ki”
    The Story of Gyokuro “Chiisana Ocha no Ki” With gratitude to all the people involved in the cultivation and production of green tea. Idea: Dr. Ralph Faerber Pictures: Akishige Chatani Editing: Maiko no Cha Honpo We are in the rural city of Kyotanabe, Kyoto. Various flowers are in bloom, saluting the arrival of spring. As usual, Maiko and her grandfather are on a walk toward the nearby tea fields. 1 Grandfather is a skillful tea master. Maiko and her cat, Chataro, love to come to the tea fields with grandfather. "Grandfather, what kind of tea do these tea bushes make?" "These tea bushes produce a tea called Gyokuro." "Does this tea taste good?" "Yes, it is very delicious!" 2 In the tea fields is a little tea bush Maiko particularly likes. This young tea bush is round and cute and just about Maiko's height. Will this little tea bush make delicious Gyokuro too? 3 One pleasant morning, Grandfather says to Maiko, "Today is a very important day for Gyokuro!" As Grandfather said this, he began to put a black shade over the tea bushes. Is he going to cover the little bush as well? Maiko wondered. I feel sorry for the little bush because it is so small... 4 However, the little tea bush was covered with a shade as well. When Maiko thought about how the little tea bush must feel, her heart was afraid and she became very sad. 5 That night, Maiko dreamt of the little tea bush. "Why does Grandfather block us from the sun? How can he be so cruel?" As the little tea bush said this, it began to cry.

  • Gyokuro Japanese Green Loose Leaf Tea English Tea Store
    Gyokuro Japanese Green Loose Leaf Tea English Tea Store • Cup Characteristics: A full flavored green tea that has a satisfying light refreshing character. Tending pleasantly vegetative with some briskness • Infusion: Very Bright • Ingredients: Green Tea • Caffeine/Antioxidant Level: Low/High • Grade(s): Gyokuro - made to Japanese specifications • Manufacture Type(s): Shade grown and steamed green tea • Region: Zhejiang Province • Growing Altitudes: 700-1500 feet above sea level • Shipping Port(s): Shanghai Brewing Instructions Hot Tea Brewing Method: Use freshly drawn water. When water is re-boiled, or stands for a while, it loses oxygen which prevents the full flavor of the tea being released. Warm the pot first. This helps the brewing process by maintaining the brewing temperature for longer so to extract more flavor from the tea. Be sure to use boiling water to make the tea. Water which is "off the boil" does not allow the tea to brew properly. Ideal brewing temperature is 100° C/212° F. Minimum brewing temperature is 90° C/194° F. Brew for 3-5 minutes. Shorter times will not reveal the full flavor and the quality of the tea. Longer brewing will result in a bitter tasting tea as Tannin will start to be extracted from the tea leaves (If you brew in a cup brew for a much shorter time, 1 - 2 minutes). Stir the tea in the pot once or twice while it is brewing. Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea, 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher.

    A Novel Flavor for Familiar Drinks, Dishes, and Desserts Sencha Japan's most popular tea The flavors that distinguish sencha are a delicate sweetness and a mild astringency. Sencha refers to the first picking of the tea bush, which takes place from late February in warm climates TO the end of May in cooler areas. The Lea leaves of later pick- ings, w.hjch have more astringency, constitute the tea known as bancha. The glossy leaves of the tea bush are nearly uniform in size and impart a refreshing fragrance Sencha is high in vitamin C and is especially popular with women as a teatime drink. A new variety of sencha (rnlzuctashi-sencha) specially prepared for steeping in cold water is now available on the market and enjoys brisk sales in summer. Powdered sencha (funmatsucha) is another product on the market, although it is easily made by grinding sencha leaves in a coffee mill or a food processor. It is excellent for adding to drinks and cooked Sencha dishes.. Fukamushicha Ideal for deiicate stomachs The processing of fukamushicha is the same as for sencha (see pages 54-55), except that for fukamushicha the leaves are steamed two or three times longer. As a result, the leaves become withered, and the color is also darker. However, the taste remains just as "sweet" and moderate, and the fragrance is richer and deeper, Despite the stronger aroma, fuka- mushicha is gentle on the stomach, and you can drink as many cups as you wish. Kukicha A refreshing fragrance to wake up to Fukamushicha Kukicha consists of stems .and stalks normally discarded in the production of sencha, gyokuro, and match a teas.

  • Tea from Tea Plant Ryokucha (Green Tea): Gyokuro, Sencha, Bancha
    Tea from tea plant Ryokucha (green tea): gyokuro, sencha, bancha Various grades of green tea are cultivated, differing on the timing of harvest and on the amount of sunlight the tea leaves are subjected to. The highest grade is gyokuro, which is picked during the first round of harvest and shaded from the sun for some time before harvest. Next is sencha, which is also picked during the first round of harvest but whose leaves are not protected from the sun. Finally, bancha is a lower grade of green tea whose leaves are obtained from the later rounds of harvesting. Matcha (powdered green tea) Only the highest quality leaves are used for matcha, which are dried and milled into a fine powder which is then mixed with hot water. Matcha is the form of green tea that is used in the tea ceremony. Konacha (residual green tea) Konacha consists of tea dust, tea buds and small tea leaves remaining after processing gyokuro or sencha. Although considered a lower grade of tea, konacha is thought to complement certain foods well, such as sushi. It is often provided for self-service at inexpensive sushi restaurants. Hojicha (roasted green tea) Hojicha is processed by roasting the tea leaves, which gives the leaves their characteristic reddish-brown color. The heat from the roasting also triggers chemical changes in the leaves, causing hojicha tea to have a sweet, slightly caramel-like aroma. Genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice) Genmai is unpolished, brown rice. Genmai grains are roasted and mixed with tea leaves to produce Genmaicha.
