DESCRIPTION

Gyokuro is Japan's most revered Japanese green tea. It is not your everyday drinking tea, but more so a 'Special occasion' tea as it is something of an experience which should be savoured whenever you want to treat yourself. Its elegant and slender dark green needles create a vibrantly pale green liquor. Gyokuro is shaded from the sun for three weeks before its spring harvest and the brewing process is very different from most other tea and the texture and flavour of the tea are totally unique.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Gyokuro is the most precious of all Japanese green tea. This Yabukita and Okumidori Gyokuro blend has been grown in Minami Yamashiro village, which is in the southern area of Uji.

Gyokuro is shaded prior to harvesting, the shading stops the leaves from converting theanine to catechins and increases the amount of chlorophyll.

In the cup, this creates a fuller body and bolder vegetal quality.

This infusion exhibits a sweet and nutty flavour that is smooth and rich in umami.
