Japanese Gyokuro Green Tea Organic

This Gyokuro green tea, meaning "Dewdrop" in Japanese, grown on the island of Kyushu is one of Japan's most iconic green teas. Picking of this ichiban-sha (“springtime tea”), is an eagerly awaited event in Japan. Buds and first leaves picked in the springtime give off the richest and subtlest notes and aromas.

This exceptional Grand Cru organic green tea was grown in a shaded area in a tea garden to enhance its unique smooth notes (“umami” in Japanese). The beautiful emerald green, needle-shaped leaves have been set using humid heat to preserve their subtle, aromatic flavours. The sweet fresh, herbal and marine notes in this Japanese tea will delight the finest of palates.
