Description

“天雫” (Amashizuku) refers to the blessings from the sky, encompassing the natural forces and gifts that contribute to the cultivation of tea. The term “天” (Ten) symbolizes nature and the sun, which sculpt the soil and terrain ideal for tea cultivation, creating the perfect conditions for tea through rain and morning mist. “雫” (Shizuku) signifies the blessings from the heavens, including rain and morning mist, representing the nourishment that comes from above.

The Amashizuku series from Yame Tea, specifically the Hoshino Tea from Yame, Fukuoka, is the result of these natural forces and blessings, combined with the dedication of producers to improve quality and their skilled techniques.

”天雫”(あましずく）とは？

”天”は自然と太陽を意味し、その力により茶栽培に適した土壌や地形を造形し、雨や朝霧といった最も茶に適した条件をもつくりあげた。その自然の力を表しています。

”雫”は雨や朝霧などを含め、天からの恵みを意味しています。

その自然の力と自然の恵みと生産者の品質向上の気持ちと技術により、生まれたのが「福岡の八女茶・八女の星野茶」の”天雫”のシリーズです。

Fukuoka’s Yame Tea

The unique climate of Yame produces a tea with distinctive sweetness and umami. The high humidity and fog, fertile soil enriched by river floods, abundant subterranean water, and gentle mountains make Yame an ideal place for producing high-quality tea. It is said to be the most suitable land for tea production. Please enjoy the sweetness and umami that can only be created from this land.

Hoshino Tea

Hoshino-cha is a tea produced in ‘Hoshino Village’ in the Yamate area of Yame-cha. Hoshino Village is a famous area for gyokuro, and the tea leaves produced in this village are of high quality and luxury.

星野茶

Gyokuro

Gyokuro is a high-quality Japanese green tea. The shading process gives the tea leaves a milder, sweeter flavor. The sweetness and umami unique to gyokuro are derived from “theanine”, which is said to be a relaxing ingredient. Theanine is a special amino acid contained only in tea and some plants, especially in gyokuro tea leaves. Yame Gyokuro is the no.1 quality in Japan.

玉露

玉露は、高品質の日本緑茶です。玉露特有の甘味と旨味は、リラックス成分といわれる「テアニン」に由来するものです。 テアニンは、お茶と一部の植物にだけ含まれる特殊なアミノ酸で、玉露の茶葉には特に多く含まれています。

YAME DENTOU HON GYOKURO (Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro)

Among Japanese green teas, the highest quality is the “Yame Traditional Hon Gyokuro,” which follows four strict covering methods. The tea bushes are not directly covered but rather a “shelf” is created to shade them, the branches and leaves are stretched out without pruning in a “natural posture,” natural materials like straw are used for covering, and the leaves are picked by hand without any machinery. The uncompromising cultivation methods ensure the exquisite taste of this tea.

八女伝統本玉露

日本茶のなかで最高峰の『八女伝統本玉露』は、被覆方法に4つの決まりがあります。 茶樹を直接覆わず「棚をつくる」、枝葉を刈らずに伸ばす「自然仕立て」、藁などの「天然素材」を使い、機械を使わず「手摘み」することです。 一切妥協を許さない、栽培方法を続けてこそのおいしさです。

✅「八女伝統本玉露」の茶葉は、茶摘みに熟練した人が、新芽の先の柔らかい部分のみを「手摘み」したものでなくてはなりません。「八女伝統本玉露」は、熟練の生産者が１年間手塩にかけて育て、ごくわずかな量しか生産されない為、大変希少で、「幻の一滴」と呼ばれています。

✅The tea leaves used for “Yame Dento Hon Gyokuro” (Yame Traditonal Authentic Gyokuro) must be carefully hand-picked by skilled individuals, selecting only the softest parts of the new tea buds. “Yame Dento Hon Gyokuro” is grown by experienced producers who dedicate an entire year to its cultivation. Due to its limited production and exceptional quality, it is considered extremely rare and often referred to as the “elixir of the gods” or the “drop of heaven.

✅「八女伝統本玉露」は、普通の玉露とも、一線を引かれており、最高品質を誇る八女産の玉露とでさえ区別されている格別、特別の玉露で、国のGI認定を受けています。通常の玉露と異なり、「八女伝統本玉露」を名乗れる玉露は、製造方法にいくつかの厳しい決まりがあり、その製造方法に沿って生産された玉露しか名乗ることができません。

✅Yame Dento Hon Gyokuro” (Yame Traditonal Authentic Gyokuro)  is a special type of Gyokuro tea that stands out even among other high-quality Yame-grown Gyokuro teas. It has been awarded Japan’s Geographical Indication (GI) certification. To be labeled as “Yame Dento Hon Gyokuro,” it must be produced using specific and strict manufacturing methods, which sets it apart from regular Gyokuro tea.

✅日本茶のなかで最高峰の『八女伝統本玉露』は、被覆方法に4つの決まりがあります。 1.茶樹を直接覆わず「棚をつくる」、2.枝葉を刈らずに伸ばす「自然仕立て」、3.藁などの「天然素材」を使い、4.機械を使わず「手摘み」することです。 一切妥協を許さない、栽培方法を続けてこそのおいしさです。

✅The top-tier “Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro” stands out among all, with four key rules for its cultivation method. The tea trees are not directly covered but grown under a “shelf,” they are naturally grown without trimming, and only natural materials like straw are used for covering, with no machines involved in the “hand-picking” process. Only by sticking to these uncompromising cultivation methods can the tea achieve its unparalleled flavor.

✅一般的な玉露は、茶葉を摘む収穫面を半球状にする弧状仕立てであるのに対して、「自然仕立て」とは自然の茶の樹姿を生かした仕立て法です。

The natural growing method used in “Yame Dento Hon Gyokuro” (Yame Traditonal Authentic Gyokuro) is based on the natural shape of tea trees, as opposed to the typically curved shaping used in other Gyokuro teas. 

✅「手摘み」にすることで、新芽の柔らかい部分のみを均等に収穫することができ、新芽の大きさが均一化されています。

Hand-picking ensures that only the tender parts of the new buds are harvested evenly, resulting in uniform bud size. 

✅うま味成分であるテアニン等のアミノ酸を多く含み、渋味を呈する成分であるカテキン類の含有量が抑制されるため、浸出液の味は濃厚、「まろやか」で「こく」があります。

It contains high amounts of amino acids such as theanine, which contribute to its rich, mellow flavor with a strong umami taste, while the astringency of catechins is suppressed.

向抹茶　Mukoh Matcha

✅ 緑茶の成分「エピガロカテキンガレート(EGCg)」は、摂氏80度を超える高温で抽出されやすく、旨み成分の「アミノ酸」は低温で抽出されやすくなります。「カフェイン」は、低温でお茶を淹れることで抽出を減らすことができます。The green tea component “epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg)” is easily extracted at high temperatures above 80 degrees Celsius, while the umami component “amino acids” is easily extracted at low temperatures. “Caffeine” can be reduced by brewing tea at low temperatures.

✅ 保存方法 高温多湿を避け、できれば冷蔵庫に保管し、移り香にご注意ください。Storage method: Avoid high temperature and humidity, and if possible, store in the refrigerator, and be careful not to transfer the fragrance.

✅「向抹茶」は、600年間、代々その技術を引き継がれてきた熟練の茶農家が生産する高品質の「八女茶」をお届けしております。“Mukoh Matcha” prides itself on delivering high-quality green tea and matcha sourced exclusively from Fukuoka, Japan’s lush, water-rich Yame region, where tea production has been passed down through generations of expert farmers over the past 600 years.

✅抹茶 / 緑茶 は、冷蔵庫に入れておけば、１年〜２年でも大丈夫です。冷凍庫に入れておけば長い間鮮度が保たれます。ただ、冷暗所に置いておく場合は、夏の場合、３〜４ヶ月で色も味も変わってしまいます。また、冷蔵庫に入れておかれた場合でも、抹茶/ 緑茶は香が移りやすいですので、臭いのきついものと一緒に保管されておくと、匂いが移ってしまうのでご注意ください。こういった理由により、ご購入頂いた抹茶 / 緑茶に記載しております”賞味期限”は、冷暗所で保存された場合の目安となっております。

✅Matcha / Green tea is fine for one or two years if kept in the refrigerator. If kept in the freezer, its freshness will be preserved indefinitely. However, if left in a cool, dark place, the color and taste will change in 3-4 months, especially in the summer. Also, even if kept in the refrigerator, Matcha / Green tea easily absorbs scents, so please be careful not to store it with strong-smelling items as the smell may transfer. Therefore, the expiration date is just a “guide” when stored in a cool, dark place.
