GYOKURO COMPETITION LIMITED BOX
This limited edition gift box , containing a competition grade gyokuro dento hon, is Kiya-san 's precious treasure, grown in the town of Hoshino , Yame, where the tradition of gyokuro production is firmly established.
This year, Kiya-san has developed a blend mainly composed of the Sae-midori cultivar, shaded under straw mats, harvested by hand during the first picking. Its sublime leaves, shaped like long and perfect needles, illustrate exceptional know-how.
A rare and refined taste experience
The first infusion, made at a very low temperature, reveals a concentration of elegance and sweetness, characteristic of gyokuro. Its round and rich taste invades the palate, leaving a long and delicious sensation in the mouth.
- Infusions: The leaves can be infused up to four or five times, like a sencha, and can also be enjoyed as a snack with a pinch of salt or a touch of ponzu sauce.
An exceptional gift
Sold in five sachets of 8g each , this gyokuro is presented in a beautiful wooden box signed by Kiya-san. It also bears Japan's exclusive "Geographical Indication" (GI) mark, guaranteeing that it has been grown and produced according to the traditions of Yame dento hon gyokuro.
An exceptional tea, designed to satisfy the most demanding green tea lovers.
