Organic Shaded Japanese Green Tea
Organic Shaded Japanese Green Tea - Japon - En stock
Grand cru
Organic Japanese Gyokuro green tea from a cross between the Saemidori and Tsuyuhikari cultivars.
This cultivar produces teas with a delicate flavor, very round on the palate, without astringency, with refreshing notes of cooked vegetables (watercress, zucchini). A long finish and a very pleasant enveloping sensation complete the tasting experience. The liqueur is slightly cloudy, a luminous yellow tending to green.
Terroir : Kagoshima, volcanic and mountainous terrain in southern Japan.
Harvest: spring 2024
Aging: light (asamushi)
Organic certification: JAS
Gyokuro is a so-called shaded tea (kabusecha): the tea bushes are covered with a cloth for 21 days before harvesting. This removes 90% of the sunlight and forces the tea plant to feed more intensely in the soil. It develops an incredible sweetness and umami flavor. It is the sweetest and most umami of our Japanese early teas.
Our Gyokuro is sold exclusively in hermetically sealed 50g bags.
All our Japanese teas are imported by air and then stored in refrigerators at 4 degrees Celsius in France.
