Umegashima, Wakocha 2014

Yesterday, I went to Umegashima, Shizuoka
to get black tea

Left tea is Yabukita and right tea is Okuhikari
Both teas was made at June as the first flash

The first impression was better Okuhikari (right) than Yabukita (left)
Okuhikari had scent and light
But ,I felt unpleasant taste both teas
While, the late tasts were good

So, I discussed about these teas with my tea friend
He brewed teas with glass pots
Then, the unpleasant taste went away !!
And Okuhikari was felt very fruity taste
Umm…

Autumun has came
Thank you for all

Tasting our teas

  A few days ago, we tried to make black tea at Nishimata, Shizuoka
  A week passed since then,
I tasted the tea again

The left tea is picked up leaves in the morning,
The right is in the afternoon

The day, rain was falling from the previous day, had jus ceased
The leaves had more water in the morning than in the afternoon 

 In the morning tea leaves

 The afternoon leaves

 I felt better scent the afternoon and better taste the morning
Both teas had stuffiness
It's feature commonly found in Japanese black teas

 We will challenge to make the tea more and more
Thank you for all
