Een thee die symbool staat voor de Japanse lente, deze eerste oogst Gyokuro is synoniem met het begin van het groene theeseizoen. Vol van rijkdom en ziltigheid, deze prachtige Gyokuro pronkt bescheiden met smaken van rijstcracker, dragon en Pecorino Romano.
The salinity really comes through on the first sip, almost like a savory broth more than a tea. It's got that rich, umami depth that makes you slow down and actually taste it, and the rice-like notes linger nicely. Perfect for those quiet mornings when you want something that feels special.
The grassy aroma hits the moment the pouch opens, and the liquor itself is like a sip of spring rain. I brewed it around 50°C and got that rich, almost savory finish that lingers nicely.
That salty-sweet umami kick is something else—it’s like the ocean and a warm rice bowl had a tea baby. Brewed it low and slow and the broth turned a deep, comforting green; I’ve already gone through half the bag in a week.
