From Yuuki-cha

Organic Uji Gokujo Sencha is an 88th day (Hachiju-Hachiya) cultivated organic sencha. Hachiju-Hachiya is traditionally the best day for harvesting green tea in Japan. Unlike Tokusen sencha which is 100% sun-grown, Gokujo sencha goes through a short period of coverage before harvesting. The coverage period is around 3-5 days, shorter than that of kabusecha. However, similar to that of kabusecha, the theanine in the tea leaves is maintainedRead more

2022 Organic Ichibancha Gokujō 極上 Sencha by Yoshiyuli Harima and Yukihiro Harima of Harimaen Seicha Co. @harimaenseicha, Ujitawara, Kyoto, Japan as curated by #Yuuki-Cha in Japan and #spaziomusa in Europe. www.harimaen.co.jp
Hachiju-Hachiya from Harimaen is a lightly steamed Sencha blend of Yabukita (やぶきた – 藪北) and Komakage (駒影) from a self-sustaining JAS certified organic 6ha tea farm, free from pesticides and organically fertilized. A superb or Gokujō Sencha with a distinctive lingering aftertaste, soft but with a richness of subtle elements both sweet and vegetal. A strong build-up of the glutamate, inosinate and guanylate complex showcases as buttermilk/creamy but mostly as a protein-inducing triggering of salivation. It is very distinguishing and enjoyable.
Camellia sinensis ‘Koma-kage’ 駒影 こまかげ is a Hirano No. 55 cultivar published in 1954 and developed at the Koyto Prefecture Tea Research centre from seeds from the Manpuku Temple (万福寺). [ICR-24010]
