Tea leaves are Yabukita

Sencha tea



I brewed sencha tea without Kyusu, Japanese tea pot
I put the tea leaves in a tea cup
and poured water at room tempreture
Then, we sipped tea 
We had tea essence

She touched the tea leaves
and said that it was very soft !!
 I didn't have that idea
Tea leaves was Iori by Suieien

 We had dinner with pu'er tea

Thank you Kaorin

Sencha tea

ゆたか、Yutaka
made by Suiseien
at Ryokouti, Shizuoka
 
The tea slipped into my body well
 
Thank you Daijiro 

Sencha tea

 left ; Yutaka , right ; Iori
 at Ruokouti, Shizuoka
I felt more Umami, taste of amino acid, in Yutaka than Iori
and felt blue sky and green wind from both
  
Now, I think about to get spirit of tea
I select Iori, because Iori have little Umami

And I am going to bring the mind
laurels and capsicums
from Ryokouti
Thank you Daijiro

Serving tea

 
I served Shibamoto's tea for tea sellers at the event of Tea industry association
I am not professional
So, I brewed slowly, carefully
and smily !!
I called in customers and he explained his tea
It was good that he told about tea

I had rest with his tea at the backyard
Thanks Shibamoto

Oriental beauty

 
Top is the prized tea
Left explain that oriental beauty is categorized in oolong tea

 Watanabe said that we can get the prized tea with lots of money
While he interest in bring up the left tea leaves
Oolong tea leaves may change

 
He likes the tea that processing is satisfactory
He pay attention the water in core of leaves
He do not expect roasting

 We had many tea all night

Thank you for all
