Sencha tea

I joined the tea party of Tsuchiya tea estate at Kawane, Shizuoka

Tsuchiya tea estate produces only sencha tea

Kawane is a big producing district in Shizuoka

This pic: the center area, surronded with blue nets, is hand picking tea trees

The blue nets block deers and wild boars

I had sencha tea

with sipping style

At last, tea leaves was eaten with salt or wasabi-miso

Kawane is located in mountain area

besided Ooi river

 Thank you for all ♥

But the tea was too hard roasted

While, Uno's tea was too raw

I like the raw taste

Thank you my boy ♥

Bancha party

I love Bancha tea

Bancha tea is local tea

Goishi-cha and Awa-bancha are made in Shikoku

Both teas are post-fermented tea

Goishi-cha is lactic fermented

It is often said that pu'er tea is origin of Goishi-cha

But, I can not think so

I felt Goishi-cha very sour !!

The taste is different from pu'er tea

 

Thank you for all !!

Ochakko

I joined the meeting of victims of Fukushima nuclear accident

We made candles

The university studebnt volunteer graduated from Ochakko meeting

Especially, he played with children

He is going to Thailand as teacher

I think that he can be a good teacher !!

I like Sukkiri, which was felt greenish 

better than Kotteri, which was roasted

 Thanks Shibamoto

I like both ♥

Pan fried tea

Left; Tuge-cha, 告茶 made by Kajiwara at Ashikita, Kumamoto

Right; Sukkiri, すっきり made by Shibamoto at Makinohara, Shizuoka

Both tea were made in non-chemical

Both tea masters were young and repeat try and error

Both tea had flower scent and fresh

I felt that Tuge-cha was better balance than Sukkiri

and felt sore throat in Sukkiri

umm…

Thank you Kajiwara and Shibamoto  ♥
