Black tea summer pickled

[2025 summer harvest tea]

This year, the intense heat made it very difficult to make tea.

It also contains a fair amount of shoots that have been chewed by planthoppers.

In addition to the usual refreshing aftertaste, it also has a sweet taste.

And the selection process has changed dramatically.

This is a method that relies only on good seeds.

I think the flavor is deeper than ever before.

It has a refreshing sweetness even when brewed with water.

This tea goes well with meat dishes.

Did you know that both green tea and black tea are made from the leaves of the same tea plant?

Nomura didn't know this until he took over the tea plantation.

Tea is fermented. However, it is not fermented by microorganisms.

The enzymes in the tea leaves

Fermentation occurs by oxidizing the polyphenols in the tea leaves.

The taste changes greatly depending on the degree of fermentation.

The types of tea that are made from tea tree leaves are:

In China, there are six color classifications.

Green tea, white tea, yellow tea, blue tea, black tea, and dark tea.

The further left you look, the less fermented the beer is, and the further right you look, the more fermented the beer is.

By the way, black tea is actually fermented using koji mold. There are also teas that are fermented using bacteria.

Black tea is called Black Tea in English. Ah, it's confusing.

Well, it's pretty complicated, so let's not go into too much detail.

If you are interested, please research it. The world of tea has endless history and knowledge, so

Immerse yourself in the magnificent world of tea.

Tea originated in China, where green tea is the main variety produced.

Of course, the same is true in Japan.

The first tea that Europe drank was brought from China during the Age of Discovery.

It is believed that it was green tea. After that, it was produced in the south, such as Fujian Province.

Well-fermented oolong tea became popular, and then black tea became the main drink.

There seems to be no established theory, but the British simply loved tea.

It seems that Japanese tea wasn't very popular around the world back then.

In recent years, tea production has become popular in Japan, where it is called "Wakocha."

Japanese tea has begun to win top prizes in competitions around the world.

Senrei is also constantly improving its tea-making techniques.

It has a very sweet aroma and is a refreshing tea with little bitterness.
