Gyokuro Okumidori
Description
The tea leaves boast a heavy consistency, with a dark green shade exuding an unmistakable Okumidori character.
The initial sip carries the intense freshness from the first tea leaves, complemented by a touch of herby grassiness and umami.
The gentle throat-feel is more reminiscent of green tea than gyokuro, leaving a lingering rich umami in the mouth for a truly sublime experience.
The story behind production
Gyokuro is selectively covered for approximately three weeks prior to harvest to slowly maximize its umami content.
Special Notes:
- Heavily roasted for maximum aroma.
- Ideal for pairing with morning or midday meals.
- Robust flavour and delightful fragrance.
