Makinohara tea trip

I went to make green tea with my friend
We picked up tea leaves
Tea leaves were 静7132, Shizu 7132 which was used for sencha tea
and had scent of sakura leaves

 
There was the big tea factory near the tea plantation
We dropped in
Tea master of Fukamushi sencha, deep steamed sencha, 
brewed sencha for us !!
It was Haiken, 拝見 that mean tea tasting
 
In new year tea season, this factory get a lot of raw tea leaves
from many tea plantations


 
The tea plantation of Mr.Shibamoto was near the sea
 
 
we made pan fried tea

Dinner time !!

 
 Left; 10/29 last week

I feel green, but I like this tea
Tea leaves size are same
 
Right; 11/3 this time
I feel fire and bodied Tea leaves are big or small
 

I like both green teas

Thank you for my friends
