Tea from Japan – Gyokuro Okumidori Miyazaki San 50g pouch
We are delighted to once again offer the exceptional Gyokuro Okumidori, produced by Mr and Mrs Miyazaki using a craft honed and perfected over decades.
Three weeks before harvesting, the tea plants are shaded using traditional straw mats woven by Mrs Miyazaki herself. Hand-picked at an altitude of 60 metres on a small plot, this Japanese, shade-grown tea is produced in limited quantities and processed into fine, very dark green needles.
When brewed, this tea produces a pale, cloudy infusion with marine and zesty aromas; its thick texture develops a rich sweetness with pleasant umami notes and a finish reminiscent of warm sugar.
