Region: Miyazaki Producer: MIYAZAKI RYO
PRODUCTION AREA
KAWAMINAMI(Miyazaki Prefecture)- While it is not well known outside Japan for its tea, Miyazaki is actually the fourth largest tea-producing region in Japan. Miyazaki is home to the exceptional Kamairicha, made using a very special “pan-fried” production technique only used by a few Japanese producers who still have the expertise required to produce this rare tea.
PRODUCER
This tea is JAS certified Premium Organic Kamairicha produced by Miyazaki Ryo who for over 30 years has been cultivating pesticide- and chemical fertilizer-free teas. Because the production of Kamaricha is difficult to master, less and less of it is available in the market; this tea is not steamed to stop oxidation, but rather roasted in large pans.
PREPARATION
Prepare this tea with just-off-the-boil hot water, (approx. 195 degrees), letting the leaves steep for about 90 seconds. The leaves open up in the pot producing a delicate, refreshing, perfumy tea which is low in caffeine and with almost no bitterness or umami. This is the perfect tea for those who don’t care for the grassy taste of more traditional green tea. This exceptional pan-fried Japanese organic green tea is made from the rare Minami Sayaka cultivar
