Compared to tea plants grown from cuttings, seedlings have a taproot, which means they have a higher mineral absorption capacity and produce tea with a stronger aftertaste. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"811\" width=\"630\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/R1043794-1.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7792\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/R1043794-1.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The one on the right is a seedling, and the one on the left is a cutting (cultivar).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The tea plantation is located at an altitude of 1100-1300m, and the conditions are almost the same as those of the rare varieties sold by HOJO, but the tea leaves used are harvested from slightly younger tea plants.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The difference with the odd variety is that the fermentation time is a little shorter. However, like the odd variety, the finished black tea is roasted for a long time at low temperature over charcoal, so it matures and has a floral aroma like rose, but also fruity aromas like peach, mango, and longan, and even a subtle sweet potato aroma. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"420\" width=\"630\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8812-2.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8915\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_8812-2.jpg\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe aftertaste is a little lighter than that of the Kishu variety, but if you don't compare them, it's long enough and makes a recommended tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"お茶の専門店HOJO","offers":[{"title":"Can: 50g","offer_id":44231857143996,"sku":"b61cc","price":6050.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/1363\/4492\/files\/IMG_8795-2.jpg?v=1749964925","url":"https:\/\/artoftea.tokyo\/en\/products\/b61c","provider":"The Art of Tea TOKYO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
