Gokase town, Miyazaki, Japan

2016 Spring Second Flush, organic cultivation

Varietal: Takachiho

Light to Medium fermentation oolong tea

Gokase town in the northern part of Miyazaki prefecture (south of Kyushu island) presents a unique terroir surrounded by volcanic caldera of Aso to the North and deep Takachiho mountains to the South.

With all his tea gardens free of agrochemicals (and almost free of any fertilisers, including organics), Miyazaki-san manages to extract the most of this unique terroir while gently caring of the land he works.

This Taiwan-style red tea made from rare “Takachiho” cultivar (we’ve tried both first and second flush; conclusion – second is better this year) is masterly fermented to produce a fruity and savoury liquor of beautiful amber colour. A beautiful tea to start a day or to finish a meal with.
