  Gyokuro - Uji
  Gyokuro - Uji
 
One of our favorite Japanese teas, gyokuro can do no wrong in our book. The scent of the the heated tea leaves promises a rich, mouthwatering experience while maintaining a delicate allure. The shade grown sweetness spreads to every corner of the  mouth. We love the exceptionally smooth, silky texture and the beautiful pale green color. A soft trace of umami, gives way to a lemony finish. We even detect a touch of chestnuts, a nuttiness that pairs well with a lightly sweetened piece of mochi.
