“Radiant diamond” – a moderately invigorating sencha from Mr Yasue’s plantation, ideal for regaining your strength and a gentle lift.
The Tokiwaen plantation lies in the picturesque village of Higashi-Shirakawa in Gifu Prefecture, surrounded by steep slopes and deep forests – in the hills above the river whose crystal-clear water gave the village its name (“Eastern White River”).
Like his father before him, Mr Yasue farms in harmony with the surrounding nature, without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. He grows, picks and processes the tea himself – first into aracha and then through the final refining (shiage) – in the smallest tea factory I have ever seen. He is the local Shinto priest, a beekeeper, a tea farmer and a tea maker all in one person.
