This Gyokuro is grown in a tea garden located on the southernmost of the four main islands of Japan by the Morimoto family. They use two plant varieties Yutaka Midori and Oku Midori which they shade throughout the growing season. The taste of both marries to an intense green and mild cup at the same time. The powerful taste comes from the spring harvest whereas the mild and sweet aroma results from the shading of the tea bushes. The fact that barely any stalks can be found in the finish tea contributes to the mild and soft character.

Morimoto Gyokuro is a very elegant tea and a superb example of the best of Japanese teas.

Repeat brewing of up to 3-5 times is possible.
