White tea

 
寿眉老茶2003
shou mei lao cha
I like the soft and warm tea, which I feel body tempreture
 Recentry, it is the pan fried tea by Shibamoto
I felt the tempreture in this tea
And I like the tea (^ ^)
 
While, I got the organic 寿眉 2013 from my tea friend
I felt that my friend's tea was a little fermentation
Although it was good, I can not feel the tempreture

Since I had continued to have many teas during New year days , I am happy
Thank you for all ♥

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

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 !!

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
