Visit to Kamairicha / Oolong Tea Farmer in Summer – Observe and Experience Tea Making
This video was taken during a visit to a Kamairicha /Oolong tea farmer in Gokase, Miyazaki after the second tea harvest season in 2024.
The scenes include parts of Oolong tea test-making and traditional Kamairicha tea making.
Kamairicha was produced in Japan before sencha was invented and inherited the tea-making process introduced from China, where the leaves are roasted to deactivate them. It has a distinctive “Kamaka”(pan-parched aroma) and a clean aftertaste.
This tea farmer has also won several tea awards in Japan for his oolong tea. Made from some unique tea cultivars developed in Japan, his Oolong tea offers you a gorgeous aroma and a refreshing taste.
