Description
It is wonderful to see tea farmers experimenting with their tea leaves. Just a dozen kilograms, but Matsumoto-san created this white tea from the summer harvest of his Koushun cultivar tea field.
The floral aroma that is created when the leaves are withered post harvest is prominent in this tea, and the liquor is delicately sweet
About Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden
3rd generation tea farmer Hiroki Matsumoto manages some 30 fields in the Kiriyama region of the Makinohara plain in Shimada, Shizuoka. He utilizes the UNESCO designated World Heritage agricultural tradition, Chagusaba, to cultivate his tea leaves. This tradition requires farmers to cultivate sasa grasses surrounding the tea fields, and use the grasses as fertilizer in the fields.
Regular steamed tea leaves create a balanced sencha green tea.
