From Literárna Čajovňa

Harvest: May 2021
Producer: Miyazaki Akira, Miyazaki Sabō Tea Farm
Area: Gokase, Miyazaki
Cultivar: Minamisayaka

A unique Bihakkocha type tea, literally lightly oxidized tea. The cultivar Minamisayaka, loosely translated as “southern freshness”, is characterized by its fresh floral aroma and delicate milkiness. Originally intended for sencha teas, but for its character it is also used for kamairicha, bihakkocha and black teas.

The material for this tea comes from the gardens in the Gokase area of Miyazaki Prefecture, which have been run in organic mode since 1983, where they are engaged in the small production of unique craft teas.

After pouring, the tea has a strong floral aroma and a full, long-lasting aftertaste.

Produced in a quantity of 4kg.

We recommend 2-2.5g per 100ml, 90 degrees water and 20-40s for the first steep. We are slowly prolonging other infusions.

This is the first bihakkōcha I’ve ever had. Its profile is, however, a mixture of quite similar ones. Its aroma lands somewhere between an Anxi and a Taiwan high mountain oolong. It is more creamy and grassy rather than perfumy, with notes of flowers, honey and stewed green vegetables – lovely!

First infusion reminds me of some of the very green Dan Cong Oolongs with its grassy, mineral, and floral taste and a strong underlying bitterness. Second steep has a flowery, sour character with a cooling finish. It does also bring some umami and a marine character reminding one that it is indeed a Japanese tea.

The aftertaste is very long and it blends sweet and sour notes. The mouthfeel is thick and water-like. All in all, I greatly enjoy this tea and I am glad I still have some left with the spring being in full force already here in Innsbruck.
