Yame Gyokuro Imperial

JG684-57

Size
In early April the tea bushes in Yame, a region in Kyushu, are covered with mats made of straw to filter out the sun (20 days or so before the harvest). Great care is taken in the picking and processing of the leaves. Gyokuros are the most esteemed of Japanese teas. This one is vegetative and astringent in the mildest manner, with a great flavor that consumes the mouth. Use very low temperatures to brew 120-140 degrees F.
