Description

From our Masters collection of premium, small lot, artisan teas for wholesale purchase in retail sizes.
Earlier this year the young Gyokuro leaves were shaded from the sun for several weeks. This process slows the growth allowing, tea leaves more time to develop depth and flavor. The result is a divine example of Shincha Gyokuro, which features lovely long, slender deep green leaves. The dry aroma is one of candied nuts and sweet grass. The Infusion is a light greenish-yellow and has tender grass notes under the nutty, delicate umami, without being overtly brothy. The cup finishes to a soft crispness with subtle hints of sweet pea floral also make their way through.
