Very rare "Kirari 31" from Wazuka, Kyoto.
This cultivar was registered in 2016, and was named with the hope that it will grow in full sunlight and produce sparkling, high-quality tea all over the country.

This is the first time the tea leaves from this young tree have been picked since they were planted. Please enjoy the youthful and powerful aroma and taste of young trees that have absorbed a lot of nutrients and are waiting for the first harvest.

-----------------

The tea leaves used for Gaho are harvested and steamed by visiting each tea farmer during the harvest so that the people who drink them can experience authentic tea. On the harvest day, the tea leaves are steamed, frozen and stored separately for each production area, variety, and farmer through a method that preserves the seasonal aroma.

Tea is usually produced by tea farmers and shipped to the market. Then, a wholesaler makes a bid for the tea, then it is sorted and packaged, and it finally makes its way to the store. It thus takes time for the tea to reach you from the tea fields, and it was the privilege of the tea farmers, who were involved in tea production when tea was in season, to taste the freshly made, freshly rolled tea.

At Baisa Nakamura, steamed tea leaves from farmers are carefully processed on the same day in a small tea-making machine at the shop so that you can taste the fresh leaves. Storing the tea leaves away from high temperatures and humidity allows the tea leaves to mature and develop a richer flavour.
