We are pleased about the ever-increasing demand for top class Japanese Teas! We are only too happy to fulfil our duty and look for new teas. On their trip to Japan, our tea buyers also made their way to Kagoshima. After tasting this organic Gyokuro, they simply could not resist and nor will you! An inky green, excellently structured, wiry leaf with a brilliant green cup colour and a fully aromatic bouquet presenting an intrinsic sweetness and expressive notes of spinach and seaweed. The Umami effect is unbeatable!

Gyokuro Asahi is a Japanese rarity of the top class, which is also called “Dew of a Pearl” or “Most Exquisite Dew Drop”. The tea shrubs grow in the shade of broad-leafed trees and are covered with bamboo mats two weeks before plucking. The fine, regular leaf has a deep green, slightly shining colour and gives off a noble, strong flavour with a hint of sweetness; an impressive mixture of tender mildness and the typical Japanese tanginess. The leaves may be brewed two to three times, with a slightly longer brewing time.

Particularly in Japan, almost exclusively high-quality teas are processed during the first harvest (Japanese Shincha), which begins around the end of April. These are especially popular on the domestic market and the few exclusive qualities for the export market are traded at high prices. We are therefore very pleased to be able to offer you this premium Gyokuro from organic cultivation. The deep green, very needle-like leaf already gives an idea of the quality of this tea, which was harvested in Kagoshima at the beginning of May. The two popular cultivars Yabukita and Okumidori, together with the rare Kanayamidori cultivar, result in a very rich, slightly sweet, almost creamy taste. A slightly vegetal aroma with an opulent umami note lingers on the palate..
