Kamairicha Tokusen — Issin-en (Miyazaki) • artisanal, pan-roasted green tea

Issin-en (一心園) is a family farm that cultivates organic teas in the Hinokage area of ​​the mountainous Miyazaki Prefecture on the island of Kyūshū. Their main profile is kamairicha – a traditional Japanese green tea roasted in a pan – which is a rarity in Japan and is particularly a specialty of the southern regions (Miyazaki). The Tokusen (“special selection”) batch is fragrant, round and clean, with low bitterness and a long sweet finish. (Economic and style information, based on verified sources)

30 gram packaging, in aroma-sealed bags.

Origin & style

  • Region: Hinokage, Nishi-Usuki, Miyazaki – steep, mountainous plots.
  • Producer: Issin-en (Kai family) – organically grown, without pesticides or artificial fertilizers.
  • Style: kamairicha – pan-roasting (kama) instead of steaming, which gives the leaves their slightly curved, “comma” shape and nutty-toasted aromas.

Processing in brief

Freshly picked in spring, the leaves are heated in a high-temperature iron pot ( kama ) for green enzymatic “fixation,” followed by gentle twisting and drying. The hand-controlled temperature and time give Tokusen its round, clean, low-bitter style.

Flavor profile

  • Aroma: toasted grain, roasted soy, slight caramel-honey tone.
  • Taste: nutty, bready, with delicate green-spicy layers; silky body and clean balance.
  • Finish: long, sweet, clean, with minimal astringency.

  • 5 g tea / 200 ml soft water
  • 80–85°C
  • 1st pour: 60–90 sec • 2nd: 20–30 sec • 3rd: 45–60 sec

Western method

  • 3g / 250ml
  • 80–85 °C, 1.5–2 minutes
  • Second pour: +30–40 sec.

Cold brew / cold soak
