Hello everyone.
This is Midopa, an online staff member.
Have you ever heard the word "Kuchikiri"?
In the world of tea, what is kuchikiri?
This is a shorthand version of ``cutting the opening of the tea pot.''
A teapot that blocks light and can be sealed tightly
It has been used for long-term storage of tea since ancient times.
The new shoots I picked around the 88th night of early summer (early May)
Place it in a teapot, seal it, and store it in a cool, dark place for about six months.
After the summer has passed, the taste of the tea has matured.
It adds even more depth and flavor.
In the world of tea ceremony, November is also known as ``New Year's Day for Tea Masters.''
Cut the opening of the teapot and grind the tencha inside with a stone mill.
As a strong tea, you can enjoy the quality of Matcha from that year.
It can also be said that this is the season of matcha season of the year.
Aged matcha has a deep richness and flavor.
At Nakamura Tokichi Main Store, we also offer ``aged tea'' in the form of sencha.
Sencha [Tokichi] is made by aging fresh tea from early summer.
The mellow richness and deep aroma of aging.
Please try the seasonal flavors that you can enjoy at this time of year 😊🍵
