2004 vintage
That very long time since I posted on my blog ...... lack of time (always the good excuse), and lack of interesting things to tell. In a few days, October 29, more precisely, I go to the "World O-Cha Festival 2010" being held in Shizuoka from 28 to 31. I hope this is a rich and full day!
But meanwhile, back on topic. My title? A gyokuro of 2004? Yes, although this is far from common, there are sometimes "old" gyokuro . Of course, this is kept under vacuum, but as a Japanese tea can be kept under vacuum without concern for over a year, all 5 or 6 years could be problematic. Indeed, I've never heard of this for a sencha, but for the gyokuro , yes. So I bought two gyokuro 2010 there are some week (one Uji and Yame presented here ), curiosity makes me also Yame (Fukuoka Prefecture) in 2004.
It is not uncommon with this type of product to see the opening of the bag as the leaves covered with a white powder. This is not a sign of impaired quality of tea, but only the shelf will literally vacuum out caffeine, which appears white to the leaf surface. Here, it is not. Splendid deep green leaves and bright. Nevertheless, signs of maturation may be, this green is quite frankly very unlike Gyokuro green fees which tends to Prussian blue.
Is it worth noting that this is the "same" Yame, as mentioned previously (here 2010 and by 2009 ), but in an earlier vintage? So cultivar Yamaki.
Also, same control in the perfect rolling of the leaves, straight, fine, as dazzling flashes of emerald. The
scent of the clear liquor confirms that leaves: a little tart, especially the perfume gyokuro ( Ooik ) is a little relief in favor of a sweet fragrance.
The flavor also shows different trends. Although very gentle and powerful, very close to this aspect of the version "new", 2010, the aftertaste of fresh and green it disappears here completely in favor of a milky flavor. Also, this "antique" gyokuro does not show the subtle touch of astringent and pungent gyokuro 2010. Growing trend over the infusions. And it after 3 or 4 infusions appears a small gene in my case: it concentrated amino acid, a little sickened. The first infusion, so soft and smooth, but very strong, is very attractive, but the length, it is sometimes happy to see a very slight astringency, like a breath of fresh air. For me what makes the charm of this gyokuro Yamae cultivar Yamaki, which disappears with age, the benefit of all the sweetness, a "candy", zero calorie course.
Nevertheless it is a great product, I think we have to choose her moment to enjoy it.

The next morning, Argue slept without being able to erase thoughts of Marianne. He could but think what would have happened if Ténébos had not arrived at this fateful moment when everything could have gone. While lying in his coffin padded his homeland that he does not regenerate its forces, he spent almost instinctively his hand in his pants: he was erect and each time he slid his penis hardens palm of his hand, he imagined his body frantically stroking one of the young woman could almost feel the softness of her skin against his. Alternating movements, vigorous and moderate but pronounced, it has rapidly, releasing a long sigh of pleasure and satisfaction while his other hand under the exquisite pain of orgasm shrank, wood carving from his prison.
He wiped quickly with his handkerchief to roll into a ball in a pocket. He was able to rest the mind relieved, or so he thought. But every following night was like a poison that was spreading and burning in his veins and more solitary pleasures appease his mind too quickly. It was increasingly difficult to contain his jealousy, which the disorienting, it has a control is unstoppable, how could thus come to imagine a thousand scenarios where he ousted his brother in order to grab his bride. He hated to have such thoughts and put it on account of her new vampire nature which increased tenfold as his new capacity as emotions, thus putting a strain not to lose face.
Ténébos, meanwhile rediscovering his bride, he would finally get to know her, know her tastes, know what made her cry or capsize. He rejoiced in each facial expression, he could read every expression on his face as he watched them for the first time. But this time of renewal and happiness was short-lived, argued in his uncontrollable anger bringing an abrupt end to the lives of those who filled the heart of both men.
The days that followed his death, Ténébos plunged into a deep malaise, trying desperately to fill that void that intolerable Marianne had left behind. It would have given anything to be back in time one night only. And nothing more for him was unacceptable to enjoy extraordinary powers without him they were of any use. What good is whether to remain eternally endure death of each of his relatives without being able to do anything at all. The first days he was totally isolated, not wanting to see anyone, then he resumed his eccentric lifestyle falling ever deeper into the excessiveness: more women, more blood but nothing, absolutely nothing could comfort him. All he left was the dresses and painted a portrait of the woman he had loved and had been hastily withdrawn and these tissues were drowned by the tears he shed in every dawn when he awoke realizing its absence.
Argue, meanwhile, had become truly execrable; sadness turning into hate, hate that he needed someone to lead. It almost seemed to take perverse pleasure in belittling his junior, in implying that if she was dead because he had failed in its duty as a man, too busy and too cowardly to ensure adequate security, the overwhelming and increasing and his discomfort. He had taken the time to build a fictional story to lead authorities to a deadlock, avoiding at the same time as suspicion falls on their persons and that too much curiosity does not reveal what should remain hidden at all costs. They were told that intruder had been spotted on their property and that he probably surprised Marianne, who was suffering from insomnia usually enjoy the fresh air of the night to relax and sleep. The debate was probably unhappy when the latter wanting to take advantage of such occasions was attacking her but they had all been alerted too late and the time they arrive on site, the tragedy had occurred and the criminal flees . The authorities were fooled, they had no reason to doubt it and nothing suggest that this was lie. The servants were astonished at the news because of their knowledge no one had seen anything but none had dared to question this story felt that this was not their role and they would pay the price their place of their language too talkative.
And the elder as head of household who had the sad news to the parents of Marianne, upon returning from travel unrestrained lowering his brother whom he considered guilty of negligence while the latter present at that same moment, was lost in grief and confusion, eyes brimming with sadness and anger who stared at him leaving him no respite; Argues apologized because he had personally pledged to watch over her but he thought afterwards that it was more the role of his brother and could be misinterpreted, at least that's what he wanted to believe for discharge of any wrongdoing. Marianne's father, completely agree with him, threw his son to look over the accuser he saw that day, making it fully responsible for this tragedy and politely suggesting that no more hardly ever cross his path. It was more welcome in their family home, becoming at the same time worse than a stranger: a pariah singled out and cursed for his incompetence.
"Why do you t'acharnes thus as much about me? Was it really necessary to make me look like the most helpless and most fugitive men? Is it out of revenge? Because of us you're the one who could never marry him? "
" Stop this infantile discourse please. I'm just telling the truth. Maybe if you had been a real man for her, we would not we here today? "
"And what being a real man as you would have changed anything at all since you claim to have killed for our survival? How does my behavior could he change the course of events? "
" If you had shown responsibility and that you had the marriage annulled and avoid this comedy, she would always be there! "
" A comedy?! You imagine that it was all a sham to distract me? I loved figures you and you have no right to doubt it! I liked him more than any of those whores who spread their legs when I walk her! "
" You become so vulgar ... maybe if she could see you in your real day she would have quickly fled. "
" I see you find a certain pleasure in sending me all about the face. Whatever you remain solely responsible for me. "
" Do you think for one moment that I could arrive at such an act for pleasure?! Do not turn around the situation against me, I told you I had no choice. "
" That's what you claim ... "And
Ténébos jostled violently argue the shoulder, which stood in its path before leaving on the room.
The only time Argues tried to express his feelings, even so he had done so clumsily reject any notion that he abandoned to become the man more relaxed and less lonely he dreamed of being. He never could forget the expression he had read on the face of Marianne after losing all control and tried to abuse her. This unspeakable shame that he tried to keep buried as deeply as possible to forget it makes it harder still and argues instead chose to devote himself to his new capacity for the benefit of relationship with humans that he ended up rejecting gradually more and more firmly, his main contact with them out of his remaining property was the time he chooses to accompany his brother on his release for fear it commit any errors that endanger their lives.
A voice deep inside Ténébos never stopped repeating an argument he had not totally wrong. If he had been present from the beginning for her, things would be no place in this way and it could continue to appreciate his love and smiles today. Then he left leak and took it upon himself to assume the role of the officer as it is meant from the beginning. It was not until some time following Laudanum he met that he found the urge to live as human tumultuous and fiery but it was the vampire began to change irreversibly.

Argues surprised Ténébos cavorting with Marianne in their garden, he kissed her lovingly on the neck as she clutched by the size and the vampire must take the opportunity to a few words of humor for the young woman alternated laughs and thrills. He remembered the strange sensation he felt at that exact moment watching them from his window, specifically jealousy. If Argues greatly loved his brother and he never felt in competition with it, he would regularly envy. Ténébos was so easy to reach out to others, it was natural he entered a room, smiling faces and facing it almost immediately became friendly. So much so that it was almost too easy for it to manipulate to get what he wanted. He would have liked to occasionally leave behind this rigidity to enjoy more of life and his youth but the very rare occasions when he tried to appear more flexible, the eyes were immediately become curious, almost mocking, as if it was impossible not to be anything other than this reputation for being stoic.
How many times had he had this terrible urge him to also lie in the arms of a loving woman who sighs of pleasure in his ear, how many times had he wanted to feel the caress of a woman's hand caressing and comforting on her skin. But people had decided otherwise, since their earliest childhood, the eldest was bound to take over and become a responsible, pragmatic decision and while the youngest and most sensitive dreamer is the charmer, the playful, the who would develop relationships. Ténébos and argues suddenly found themselves orphaned in adolescence and is obviously Argue, scarcely touching the maturity of an adult man, who endorse the image of the head of family, making it the duty to protect Yet his brother barely some years her junior. The roles were given and did not change. When
Ténébos Argue and became creatures of the shadows, Argue previously thought briefly that could change, enjoy this new him for what he aspired in recent years: free to express his feelings, fears, doubts. It would not be easy, there were still very introverted but he would try. Unfortunately it was soon realized that both should be limited more than ever in their respective character in order not to arouse suspicion, in which case their second there should terminate immediately. He remembered that horrible feeling of oppression and containment that weighed down, condemning more than ever to be what he no longer wanted to be.
"Enough! I'm tired of all this! "
Argues angrier had returned furniture and chairs in his office, ripping a sudden claws all these papers, these interminable formalities which weighed and choked her. He felt tired of everything and never assume anything to show. Ténébos recently discovered that the sudden wrath of his brother, entered the room and closed the door quickly behind him.
"Can you make less noise? You might all wake up. "
" And then?! "
" So, is this what you want? They see you all and, consumed by anger and they discover that you are no longer the man you're supposed to be? "
" And why not after all! I'm tired of all this, tired of being the one who must bear all the costs. Why do not we mix up the roles for once? "
Ténébos back in a chair which he lazily went limp.
"Are you in doing of humor? You become a socialite, please let me laugh. "
He said he could not remember crossing a mocking laugh.
Argues edgier than ever and likely his younger brother grabbed by the neck plunging his furious eyes in hers.
"Come here who would be willing to believe you could be anything other than what starched suit in which you're gliding every day. Let's be clear, you're not made for this world frivolous and superficial, and then ... you have not the physique, I'm afraid .. "
" Do you astray. I know I can please women, I have already had their eyes linger hold me after my visit. "
" I rather think they were gossiping about the fact that you seem still single. Maybe they think you are simply more attracted to men. It's true after all one could ask. "It would
hoped for a little support from him, maybe even an invitation, even slight encouragement to take greater advantage of all these moments that wolf, but all that did was to be Ténébos itself to and against all and continue to laugh while catching the ground a bunch of grapes that tasted eyes.
"You're cruel. "He replied simply recovering as quickly as it had disappeared, his legendary calm.
"It's possible, can do I lacked strength in my education. What do you think? "
" Leave me alone please. "The younger
just patting the shoulder of his brother by almost condescendingly what hurts a little more.
"I'm sure somewhere a beautiful young woman waiting for you ... well if that's what you want of course. "He finished with arrogance.
Argues shot, curtly rejected the hand of his brother to turn his back, unable to support more critical Ténébos deliberately nasty.
That night Marianne disturbed again by repeated absences from her fiance, went to question Argue and noticed that he seemed very upset and sad than usual as he took upon him that it was difficult finally know how he felt. And if she wanted very much impressed nonetheless give it its support.
She therefore joined in the lounge and sat down beside her on the sofa embroidered. Seeing her approaching, he put down his newspaper.
" You're not asleep? "
" No I await the return of Ténébos. You know once more where he is? "
" I guess as usual it needs to skim the evenings. You should go to bed, he will return probably much later. "
" I prefer to wait anyway. "
" As you please. "
" ... "
She wanted to ask him several times but she rushed to stop too dry. He noticed and asked him:
"Can I do something to help? "
" I feel that ... that ... "She smiled gently
, embarrassed not to know how to broach the subject. His glance was sometimes put so ill at ease despite the fact that he always tried to be charming with it.
"I'm listening. "
" I have the impression that you seem sad. Is everything okay? "We must
surprised and touched by this attention and seizing her hands to release them immediately realized that this gesture might seem a little too familiar, he replied simply:
" Everything is fine do not worry. "
" You're sure? You can ... you trust me if you wish. "
" I am more than sure. Everything is fine. "
" Well ... if you say that with much determination, I am forced to believe you. "
She got up and pretended to leave.
"Marianne? "
" Yes? "
" Thank you. "
She smiled softly while leaning his head in sign of acquiescence before getting ready to leave him alone. And again he felt jealousy. How could he have his brother the chance to be promised to a woman he did not deserve unlikely though it aroused in him feelings which he would hardly have believed it tolerated the existence and unconsciously so much. And then an argument
rushed at him without really understanding why or what he would do or say, Ténébos entered at the same moment in the show and rushed to his fiancee.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you. "
Marianne turned and the sight of her man beside her is enough to make his face shine again with joy. Argue, meanwhile, pretended to take his place back gently.
"Madam, would you dedicate myself a bit of your precious private time? "Asked he, kissing her hand.
Although the scene was meant to deliberately theatrical Argues could not help looking up at the sky marking the ridiculousness of the situation while Marianne seemed to greatly enjoy the game He caught his bride by the waist and asked to followed while welcoming his brother.
"Good night. "Marianne
Ténébos led into a small private room where he liked to stroll quietly. She had refreiner his impulses as the latter seemed particularly demanding her affection. Realizing that it could never treat her like he treated his lovers for a night, he quickly regained his seriousness to watch simply enjoying its beauty and sweetness.
"What do you want? "Asked her all embarrassed but happy it looks so insistently.
"I realized today how lucky I have you by my side. So do I have now decided that you like me had repeatedly claimed we would spend more time together. "At these words
barely finished she threw herself on him to tighten it very hard in his arms. He fills in a sentence his heart with such joy. That's all she wanted from the beginning of their relationship and now he seemed finally ready. Doubts arising recently disappeared like grains of sand at the first breath of wind. It's him she wanted to marry her, he would not be possible otherwise.
"Forgive me for having so neglected. "
And once again Ténébos had simply felt happy for them both. This argument ignored
is this night forever, despite his teasing Ténébos had defended his brother when had heard a random conversation about he felt displaced about it. It occurred without restraint, glancing at the black woman who dared criticize his elder half-word.
"I swallow your sharp tongue if I were you. There would be so many things about you that people here would be very curious to know, I do not doubt for a moment. "This little time
so ordinary and common in the mid noble Ténébos rubbed him yet aware that it was time for him to focus more on what made him happy. Although he was fully conscience he could never totally abandon this environment plagued by hypocrisy but who knew greatly satisfy his vanity, yet he felt a real need for simplicity and sincerity. He also sometimes felt tired of being this elegant man, physically attractive and refined in exchange for excessive compliments. Argue, meanwhile, took so fully aware of the feelings he felt for the bride's brother and he found once more the good life cruel and the only woman he ever loved was that it could ever have and the idea quickly took a turn for obsessive that was slowly poisoning him so that his brother seemed contrary to finally acquire some semblance of stability.

Chivas Brothers Porcelain Bottle
Two major gyokuro
I have previously presented little gyokuro 玉露. The gyokuro is expensive, and gyokuro that are really worth is not that easy to find. The gyokuro "good markets" have little more to offer than good kabuse -cha, and the highest quality products are sold in 100 gram in many shops. The method of preparation of gyokuro actually a tea that was hard to enjoy everyday, so I prefer to buy very good in small amounts in order eat them quickly before these nectars are not altered.
So several weeks that I have a strong desire to gyokuro , this liqueur deep and powerful, this espresso Japanese tea. How to decide between a from Uji 宇 治 (Kyoto) and one Yame 八 女 (Fukuoka) ? Although this type of tea is produced here and there, including Okabe 冈 部 (Shizuoka), with Uji and Yame was roughly the two halves of the national production. Uji region has for her reputation, tradition, a long history. In Japan, if one recalls the gyokuro , Uji comes obvious. Indeed, the gyokuro of Yame finally rest unknown to the general public, but the sections gyokuro competitions give the first place most often in products Yame 10aine last year.
course, it is impossible to say that the best product to gyokuro Yamae only, it seems to me still the same price as those of Yame are often superior. Well, for the Japanese tea in general, a mention of "Uji" on the bag is an added value, especially in the eyes of Japanese who like "marks". From my limited experience with these teas, from what I hear here and there, before even talking about the taste of those Yame have the advantage (an advantage to a decisive weight in a competition) to have a far more careful than Uji. Beautiful shiny leaves and smooth, uniform.
Let's go to my difficult choice: I am both (same price range).
The both emerge clearly the sweet scent of tea culture from shaded perfume called "Ooi-ka" 覆 香.
This Gyokuro Uji as a young woman is cute and cozy, while that of Yame would rather splendid sculptural beauty, sharp and elusive.

Beautiful shiny leaves and smooth, uniform.
Let's go to my difficult choice: I am both (same price range).
left, Uji, the leaves are less uniform, a nice green Gyokuro , but shallower than the leaves of Yame right. This last fact shows a great consistency, very thinly rolled sheets, shiny and smooth (we can speak of perfection before the criterion of beauty théïque). In contrast, Uji shows leaves that seem a little rough, which lacks luster (this, however, and a criterion that must not go too much into consideration for a gyokuro ). In reality, nothing wrong, everyone has their characteristics typical of their region.
The
before infusing them, take the time to know them a little better, with this issue of exciting cultivars.
The first one, Uji, is a Goko. Goko is a cultivar developed for growing shaded ( gyokuro , kabuse -cha, Matcha ). So a variety of sweet tea is naturally rich in theanine. Yame is that of Yamaki, a cultivar sencha which is nevertheless widely used for gyokuro . Mutation of the famous Yabukita, Yamaki is a cultivar of the many qualities: sweetness, fragrance pronounce, dark green liquor, very thin sheets (we understand where this cultivar is to assess the Gyokuro to Yamae the gyokuro I have several months ago was also a Yamaki).
start by Uji. 5 grams of leaves, 30 ml of water at 50 ° C.
A very pretty light green and clear. The scent that emerges, sweet, and reminiscent of ripe fruit, the fig, is characteristic of the cultivar Goko. We find these notes in the flavor of this liquor, strong and sweet. However, an initial infusion of 2 min left a very fine taste of the powerful gyokuro . It's not disgusting, and suggests that 2min30 might do the trick. A delight.
infusions which we may enjoy the emerald green liqueur deeper, but still relatively clear. If it tastes naturally loses a little strength, no astringency does not appear, and we continued to enjoy tea 100% smoothly.
Come see Yame. Same infusion conditions.
Here, fragrance, combines with the gentle fragrance reminiscent of large yellow flowers. Contrary to what might suggest the pale liquor, it is also much stronger, and the flavor is consistent with the fragrance, which leaves very soft after the first infusion subtle astringency. This has nothing to displease the contrary, it gives depth to the flavor. Also, the presence of tannins, making himself more insistent infusions following avoids a too rapid loss of strength of flavor, and also a greater variety of tastes.
We can see here the difference with that of Uji, which, with its crop cultivar is covered in thick roundness, while the Yame with its cultivar sencha luxury can not help We offer deep contrasts of flavor, sweetness / astringency.
This Gyokuro Uji as a young woman is cute and cozy, while that of Yame would rather splendid sculptural beauty, sharp and elusive.
