A jewel among Japanese teas, Gyokuro unfolds a rich, deep umami, softened by natural sweetness and silky vegetal notes, through to a clean, refreshing finish. Its complexity invite s you to slow down: this is a green tea for mindful tasting, ideally brewed with cooler water to preserve its delicacy. Its secret lies in shading: the tea plants are covered for several weeks before harvest, a technique developed in the nineteenth century in the Uji region near Kyoto, which concentrates the flavours and gives the tea its incomparable sweetness. Its name means jade dew. Made solely from carefully selected young leaves, Gyokuro is hand-packed in Montreal. Show more
