One of the Finest Representations of this fine tea we have found. This Gyokuro is shade grown Japanese tea, plucked during the first cut during May. An assertive vegetal flavor with hints of toasted walnut, with an incredible mouthful the Japanese refer to as Umami. A Truly unique and magnificent tea.
Ingredients: Shade Grown Japanese Gyokuro •
Why it’s Special:
** Lush, rich green flavor, with a finish of roasted walnut
** Shade grown giving it a subtle, natural sweetness
** Wonderful mouth coating “umuami” sensation
** Flavors that remain steady. It never changes as it lingers after your first sip
** Aroma of a hearty veggie soup on a cold day
What to be Careful of:
** Not for those who like a mild Green Tea
** Beauty is in its subtlety. It is not for those who like “in your face” and robust flavors
** Delicate flavor must be handled with care. You must keep an eye on the water temperature and brew time
** Has a bit of astringency, which is a prized quality in a fine Gyokuro
** If you do not like sushi rolls, you most likely will not enjoy this tea
