I traveled many tea regions in Japan to choose the 2015 tea.
I spent more time for organic gadens in Japan this year so that it was physically very tough trip this year since my choice of organic gardens are mostly located in deep inside of mountains.
But they are real deal: genuine tea growers rather than just "I keep JAS certificate rule" gardens.

Also, organic teas are grown slower than conventional tea trees so that the harvest time is later and packing to be ready is slower since the gardens are relatively smaller sized.

Anyway, 2015 selection is ready and let me introduce them.

1st one is Sakamoto Brothers; Organic Gyokuro. Kagoshima.

Tea has rich Theanine so that it look very shiny.
I believe most of tea people won't know it is organic until they are told.
1st time to launch this tea to the world.
22658 Gyokuro Yabukita 3
2nd is Mr. Katsume's Sencha Asatsuyu. Kagoshima

Asatsuyu is called natural Gyokuro by its sweetness, however, the cultivar is very weak so that this is mostly used for blend sencha since the production volume is quite low.

This is limited edition but we are happy to produce 100% Asattsuyu cultivar sencha this year.
Please use 70C to 80C degree and start pouring after 30 seconds.
22652 Katsume Asatsuyu
3rd is Katsume's Sencha Saemidori. Kagoshima

Saemidori is made by crossing Yabukita and Asatsuyu.
The prince of cultivar.
Mr. Katsume is a tea master and competition winner.
This is the best 2015 in his 23 cultivars.
22217 Katsume Saemidori 3
The next is,

Famous Harimaen in Uji, Kyoto.
Organic Gyokuro.
It's been an only organic gyokuro in Japan for a long time.
22606 Harima Gyokuro 3
Organic Hojicha.
Hojicha is roasted green tea.
It looks wild as you see stems ans stalks.
But when you open the package, please smell it. Smoky leaf aroma is so rich and you'll see the artistical skill or roasting.
22610 Harimaen Hojicha 3
Organic matcha ceremonial Grade A (the highest among his matcha)
21992 Uji matcha A 3
Organic matcha ceremonial grade B (the 2nd best)
21993 Uji Matcha B 3
To be continued....

There are only less than 10 people have a 9th degree of Green Tea Master.
He is the one of them.
(10th degree is only 1 person exsit but Mr. Mori has to wait 2 more years to try. 10th grade is from age 45.)

He is a top blender in Kagoshima and actually my favorite retail sencha is his "Oku Kirishimacha" sencha.
He also have his own brand Satsumahomare.

He and his team goes to dealer auction every day and stock the tea to compose aroma-oriented tea, sweet taste oriented to apply his formula of his blend.

So, it means the raw ingredients (rough tea) and the supplying gardens are different each time of production. However, it is amazingly stable and tasty any time, any year we drink.
That's the blender's skill.
20

The facility is the biggest in Kagoshima and his 2nd processing factory: Sorting rough tea by the size and color, remove stalk, microwave dry for inside of leaf, drum dryer for outer side of leaf, metal detection, nitrogen packing, is fully controlled by Mr. Mori's operation.
92
So, I say there is a 2 types of blending.
Positive blend and negative blend.
Positive blend is; for example, if the big company want to sell tea products at 500 shops, there is no garden can supply such quantity as a single lot. And the taste must be the same at any shop.

So, the top blender make the recipe and remark the chracteristics of tea at development stage. Then, he makes exactly same tea everytime and every year.

Convincing?

And also, his Satsumahomare is blend of 5 tea regions in Kagoshima. We can enjoy 5 tastes in 1 tea to feel Kagoshima tea.

Oh, anyway, his mother has a fancy tea shop near the Kagoshima Chuo Station.
She let us into her tea room where she teach ceremonial tea class.
Thank you very much!
