Organic Shukou Gyokuro—2025

DKK 190.00

In the cup: a deep and rich umami with sweet afternotes—best enjoyed in small quantities.

This year's first harvest of organic Gyokuro made from the Saemidori cultivar and produced in Makizono, Kagoshima by Mr. Nishi, known for his excellent organic production methods.

The tea gets its name from the rich and profound taste of Gyokuro, with "kou" (light) representing brilliance or radiance, and "shu" (pearl) representing the preciousness and purity associated with pearls.

To produce high-quality Gyokuro, the tea is shaded for 21 days before harvest using the tunnel shading method. This tea reveals a deep fragrance and a sweet umami flavor with very little astringency, classic for Gyokuro.
