Pu'er black tea

I got 巴達古樹紅茶, ba da gu shu black tea 2010  from my tea friend
I brewed the tea several times,

I can not feel the goodness of the tea
I can not feel the taste

But I felt good scent

While I felt good 漫撒生態紅茶, Man sa sheng tai black tea 2014
I may only understand familiar taste

Dried sweet potatoes

Last month, I joined to make dried sweet potatoes at Akiyama tea estate
I got the potatoes (#^^#)

With sencha tea

Inzatsu 131, 印雑131

The first, I brewed low temreture

There is clear flower scent but not Umami, heavy sweet taste

Inzatsu131's mother is Maniply5, Assam line

and is the mother of Sofu ( 蒼風) and Fujikaori ( 藤かおり)

Thanks Akiyama for potatoes and many teas !!

Happy New Year

 Scent of mountain fog
「山霧の香り」
wakocha, Japanese black tea
made by Sano from Umegashima, Shizuoka

I went to Shirohige shrine at Umegashima
I prayed for new tear tea

It was full stars of sky
in spite of rain until just before the new year
And I saw the first shooting star

Happy new year ♥

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

by puer-cha.com

Shiboridashi from Poland

I think what do I brewed tea with Andrzej 's tea wear

Sencha, Oolong, black tea or pu'er

Shiboridashi from Poland

 

I received the tea wear ,Shiboridashi

made by Andrzej Bero

from Poland

I brewed sencha tea

made from Umegashima, Shizuoka

The color of tea wear matched well with tea leaves

Thanks for Tochiku and Andrzej

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
