From Tea Mountain

In the spring of 2017, a colleague and I wandered through the mountain gardens of Kyushu Island and discovered beautiful gardens within sight of the active Aso volcano, where tea has been grown organically for almost 40 years without the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Here, so-called artisanal teas are also produced in small quantities, which are very rare even in Japan. Our tea was made from a rare cultivar in an amount of 5 kg and after pouring its slightly oxidized and loosely rolled leaves, you will be surprised by its charming, distinctly floral aroma and balanced, light, full, long-lasting sweet taste. Highly recommended.

Harvest time: July 2024

Cultivar: Minamisayaka

Area: Gokase, Miyazaki Prefecture

This is only a second tea of this type that I have tried as far as I can remember. I would like to see more of Japanese oolongs on the market though.

The aroma of dry leaves is sweet and toasty with notes of nectar and grass. During the session, it is much more floral with hints of orchid and burdock among other associations.

It is a full bodied tea with a thick creamy mouthfeel. The taste is a little bit like a green Taiwanese oolong. It is sweet, vegetal and mineral with a little bit of bitterness, lending to a long and sweet aftertaste. There are strong marine and grassy flavours, as well as those of custard, kale, lemon balm, lime zest.
