Golden yellow infusion, very pleasant taste and a nice aroma. Tamaryokucha will settle in your tea room very quickly. Its taste is really worth your attention. You'll find citrus, grass, berries and an unusually long almond aftertaste. It stays on the palate right up until the moment you indulge in another sip.
Origins
The region or, if you prefer, the prefecture of Shizuoka is located on the Pacific coast, on the island of Honshu. To the west, it extends deep into the Japanese Alps, while to the north it is bounded by the sacred Mount Fuji. A full 11% of Shizuoka is covered by natural parks. Every 100-150 years the area is hit by a strong earthquake.
In summer the average temperature reaches 27°C, in winter the lowest temperature is 7°C. Shizuoka is especially famous for its cultural wealth, trade and tea. Mount Fuji appears in many works of art, not to mention the fact that it is associated with the life of the great Japanese figure Tokugawa Ieyasu, one of the country's unifiers.
Tea trees grow in the region at almost every turn. They can be found along roadsides, in house gardens and, of course, on vast plantations. Shizuoka produces a full 50% of Japan's tea. There are approximately 46 tonnes of mainly green, high-quality sencha.
Tamaryokucha, which is also known as guricha, translates to something like twisted green tea. Guri-cha then means "curly tea" (guri is the name of a classic Japanese decorative wool pattern). The tea leaves are harvested by hand in April and as soon as possible subjected to a short but intense exposure to hot steam. This stops oxidation and preserves the green color and most of the beneficial nutrients. This is followed by rolling into small curls and drying. Finally, of course, the tea is sorted and packed.
