Assam tea

Assam tea, Dibrugarh, India
I got a souvenir tea from Okamoto

Okamoto said
The local people buy it for Chai

At the shop, hundreds cups Chai are sold per day

Assam tea is necessity, because it can be cheaply mass supply

He saw that a woman buy 20kg of tea leaves

I felt the taste of tea came front as boiled with milk
While I felt flat as brewed straight at the end of year tea party

Thanks Okamoto !!

Pan fried tea by Shibamoto

Kabosu marmalade with pan fried tea

Kabosu is citrus fruit

Marmalade was so sour that it matched well with tea

Shibamoto work in welfare facility, because farming is hard regarding money

But, I think that it is good a tea master has the other work

The marmalade was made by there

Thank you !!

Dried sweet potato

The other day, I joined to make dried sweet potatoes

At Akiyama tea estate, Fuji, Shizuoka

The first, sweet potatoes were steamed for 4hours

Steamed potatoes !!

Potatoes were peeled

It was hard to peel because potatoes were very bumpy

Grandma said that it like Gaudi's architecture

Granpa said I am brain surgeon

And these potatoes were dried under the sun by granddaughters

Now, napa cabbages and radishes were dried

Okumidori, sencha tea, hand picking

made by Mr.Akiyama

Thank you Akiyama family !!

Pu'er tea

Sorry, I brewed pu'er tea with Andrzej's shiboridashi as a gaiwan

The soil of the tea wear was rough

Then, I felt that it may match well high temperature

than low temperature like sencha tea

Pu'er tea became milld even though I felt bitter with a gaiwan

Tea leaves were 中茶牌3917沱茶93,pu'er 3917 tuo cha 93

Pu' er tea party

版納古樹熟餅2010
from Bada Mt. old trees at 2010

This post fermented pu'er tea were all made by hand

Also Rolling !!

Making post fermented tea leaves needs a large mount of tea leaves

in order to fermentation

Because I gave up a little bit of tea leaves at Shibamoto,

I can not image hand rolling 120kg/day fresh leaves

It was advantage of hand rolling that tea leaves had elasticity

So, tea leaves were aerobic fermentation

We had pu'er tea party of puer-cha.com

and invited Fujimoto
Thanks for all

Brewing black tea need amount of heat

A tea wear is good a tea pot than a gaiwan

It is good that the tea pot made of soil
Soil has heat

Hot water is poured full of the tea pot

The other day, I joined pu'er tea party by puer-cha.com
The first tea was pu'er black tea
As described above, I was teached

Now, I am practicing

Thank you Mr.Fujimoto

I want to know the state of tea leaves
Whether the fermentation of the tea leaves were well or bad
Whether the fixtation were sufficient
And, What are the tea master thinking?
I want to know these questions from tea leaves

I have received the impression from tea leaves
For example, recently, from white tea leaves made by Mr.Shibamoto
But, I can not explane my impression
And my impression does not equal to goodness of tea leaves
I luck mind and times to watch the tea leaves

Mr.Fujimoto face to tea leaves
I want to know how to watch or feel the tea
But, I do not know Xishuangbanna
While, I think that the drainage water from tea leaves is common sencha and pu'er tea,e.g.
