Premium Gyokuro Kiwami

This Gyokuro Kiwami from Yame -Hoshino in Japan is a top class tea.
The tea is shade-grown, which helps the leaves retain their juices and fine flavours.
When the leaves are ready to be harvested, they are hand-picked, which is a laborious process, but a conscious choice as it produces a much finer tea.

A tea with a great texture, softness and, not least, plenty of umami flavour, which is a hallmark of high-quality Gyokuro tea.

The tea is packed in 5 bags of 5 grams each (25 grams in total) in a nice wooden box.
