Slightly fermented tea, Mimasaka Bancha, from Okayama Prefecture.

How about MIMASAKA BANCHA
Mimasaka Bancha is a tea that is known to have been loved by Miyamoto Musashi, a famous swordsman in the early Edo Period.
It is made by using the tea leaves and stems harvested from mid July – mid August. Leaves and stems are boiled in an iron pan.
Boiled tea leaves are spread out onto a straw mat. Cooked water used for boiling the tea is sprinkled onto the tea leaves as it is dried under the sunlight. As a result of tea incrustation from the water sprinkled onto the tea, color of the dried tea leaves become amber.
Because Mimasaka Bancha is slightly fermented, it must be brewed for 7-8 minutes to fully enjoy the tea. By pouring boiling water to the tea leaves will extract only the sour flavor contained in the tea.
