<Wakocha by Mr Yamamoto, SAMURAI Teafarm in Makinohara, Shizuoka>
Mr Yamamoto’s ancestors served for Tokugawa shogunate, and started to develop Makinohara area for tea prod.uction in 1872. Their samurai spirit is still inherited in the name of the “SAMURAI teafarm”. The current owner, Mr Morihiko Yamamoto, is the 5th generation to run the farm, producing "tokumushicha" (deeper steamed fukamushicha) and wakocha (Japanese black tea) and so the list goes on.
1) His 2nd flush Benifuki cultivar's wakocha, bitten by leaf hopper, has a flowery note with a lingering finish
2) Roasted leafhopper-bitten 2nd flush Benifuki wakocha
He roasts the tea meticulously, giving it a deep amber colour, and sweet flavour like ripened fruit and honey. When cool down, the beautiful fragrance stands out more, and it lasts long in a cup.
