Hi, I'm Eko!

I've been interested in specialty teas since ~2017, and I'm currently working in a tea house located in Finland.

I'll post pictures & notes on the teas I drink, as well as the tea houses & tea events I attend 🍵

I hope to find other tea enthusiasts on the Fediverse!

Close up of a hand pouring tea from a glass pitcher to a small ceramic cup. A small white teapot is visible nearby, and a card indicates that the tea is Dong Ding taiwanese oolong.

Step into the world of Japanese tea, where every cup is a moment of mindfulness. 🍵✨

From the tranquil art of the tea ceremony to the vibrant flavors of Sencha and Matcha, Japan’s tea culture invites us to slow down, savor the present, and find beauty in simplicity.

“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves.” – Okakura Kakuzo

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the National Hand Rolling Competition held in Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture, where the Wazuka Hand Rolling Preservation Society participated with two teams. The competition is an opportunity to showcase the hand rolling skills and connect with others farmers who share the same passion.

You can read about my experience in the blog.

Yesterday I published a blogpost about the current matcha situation. It is written from my personal experience and perspective working as a tea farmer. There are many other approaches and perspectives that I am willing to listen to. Just putting my unstructured opinion out there.

This is the first comprehensive book about Japanese tea in English:

@books
#JapaneseTea

Tea has been an integral part of Japanese culture for hundreds of years. In recent years curiosity about Japanese tea has grown around the world. Information about it in English has been fairly limited and quite sporadic. This book, hence, is the first comprehensive source about Japanese tea in English. Here you will find how Japanese tea is grown and processed as well as what different kinds of teas are made in Japan. In addition to that, you will learn about the chemical composition of Japanese green tea and how to brew it. You will also discover how the history of Japanese tea has developed and what the current situation is. Additionally, you will learn about the Japanese tea ceremony and teaware used for Japanese tea. All together the book will prove to be a reliable source for your tea studies and professional tea career.
*The book was originally published under the author name Simona Zavadckyte in 2017. In 2022 the author name changed to Simona Suzuki.

This is the first batch of tea I ordered straight from Japan.

* [senkien] Uji Gyokuro “Zuiun” - a nice sweet brew with nice umami. Stays pleasantly on the tongue. I get 3 nice steep from it. It has a superior taste to the Yamamotoyama gyokuro I’ve been buying at the Asian supermarket.

* Special Karigane Golden This is an early season (golden) stem tea made from gyokuro. Very sweet, smooth, slightly floral, not as strong as the gyokuro but similar in taste. I am drinking the first steep now. I will probably add this as an alternate to hojicha or genmaicha for evening drinking.

*[senkien] Asamiya Kanmuri Sencha “Shigaraki” - a nice sencha from a good growing area. Sencha is not the top of my tea list. I am more likely to make gyokuro, oolong, or jinjunmei for my main daytime drink. I will probably not buy this again, not because it is bad, but because I have too many other options I like.

Currently reading "Stories of Japanese Tea". :blobfoxread: :blobfoxflooftea:

So a trick from this "A Beginner's Guide to Japanese Tea" is to brew sencha in refrigerated water and leave to steep for 5 minutes. The taste will enhance the umami (Glutamic acid & L-theanine) and sweetness (L-theanine, free sugars) without the bitterness (various polyphenols).

I just tried it on some cheap sencha, and it tastes much better than some warm brewed midrange gyokuro (the expensive type of Japanese tea). :leafeonmoney:

Reading a few tea textbooks right now. :blobfoxread: #TeaFacts

Fukamushi Sencha (深蒸し煎茶) is a type of green tea and is the most commonly consumed tea 🍵 in Japan. It is preferred for its rich taste and full mouthfeel. It is best prepared with 70°C (~158°F) to avoid harsh flavors and excess bitterness...

This explains why just dumping freshly boiled water doesn't work, got it.

My tea haul. Japanese tea first buds were harvested recently as shincha 新茶 which has the strongest flavor, and aslo the most expensive. :leafeonmoney:

After going for tea theory and practical lessons and reading a few tea books, I think I can appreciate the flavors now. :ablobfoxhypercofe:

Also tried out some new techniques to get amazing flavors from significantly cheaper teas (not shown).
