The cultivar was first produced in 1994 with traits such as disease and cold resistance, good growth, and tea quality in mind, and indeed has shown very good resistance against frost so has been recommended to farmers cultivating at higher elevations. In general, the quality of tea made from the Kirari 31 is greater than that of Yabukita and compares with the umami level and color of Saemidori. Ready for harvest in general 3-4 days earlier than Yabukita, it has an excellent color (as you may be able to tell from the photo) with a mild flavor that is similar to Saemidori quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kirari 31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: May\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yabemura village, Yame, Fukuoka\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular steaming (40-50 seconds) used but leaves are young and delicate so the results is close to a deep steaming (fukamushi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee our steeping guidelines here \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tokinari.live\/pages\/japanese-tea-steeping-techniques\"\u003etokinari.live\/steep\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVendor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eName\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKurihara Seicha Ltd.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMembers\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kippei, Yuji, and Akio Kurihara (Father and sons)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/R6mFn\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e4236 Kita Yabe, Yabe-mura, Yame-shi, Fukuoka Prefecture 834-1401, JAPAN\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize of fields\u003c\/strong\u003e: About 3 hectares\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude of fields\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e300 - 700 meters\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"Kurihara Tea Farm","offers":[{"title":"[2026] 10g \/ 0.35 oz \/ May \/ Yunomi bag","offer_id":39711960432745,"sku":"kht-kirari-010-y26","price":780.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"[2026] 100g \/ 3.5 oz \/ May \/ Original bag","offer_id":41195954831465,"sku":"kht-kirari-100-y26","price":4600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"[2026] 1kg \/ 2.2 lbs \/ Bulk bag","offer_id":47808213549161,"sku":"kht-kirari-1kg-y26","price":40900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/0082.F2KuriharaTea.SingleCultivarYameSencha-Kirari31_31.jpg?v=1763015035"},{"product_id":"ku008-tomizawa-tea-garden-kumamoto-hojicha-dark-roast-green-tea-lab","title":"#0688 Tomizawa Tea Garden: Naturally Grown Kumamoto Hojicha Dark Roast - \"Green Tea.Lab\" ほうじ茶","description":"\u003cp\u003eTea farmer Tomizawa-san uses an extra long roasting of his guricha green tea leaves to create this richly flavored deep-roasted hojicha. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis tea is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
