Description
This Gyokuro green tea, meaning "Dewdrop" in Japanese, grown on the island of Kyushu is one of Japan's most iconic green teas. Picking of this ichiban-sha (“springtime tea”), is an eagerly awaited event in Japan. Buds and first leaves picked in the springtime give off the richest and subtlest notes and aromas.
This exceptional Grand Cru organic green tea was grown in a shaded area in a tea garden to enhance its unique smooth notes (“umami” in Japanese). The beautiful emerald green, needle-shaped leaves have been set using humid heat to preserve their subtle, aromatic flavours. The sweet fresh, herbal and marine notes in this Japanese tea will delight the finest of palates.

Manufacturing secrets
A precious plucking
Thés de La Pagode® respects an age-old tradition to ensure that all the benefits of tea are preserved. Indeed, the quality and fragrance of a tea are determined, among other things, by the type of leaf picked. In spring, in the gardens of Thés de la Pagode®, the "Imperial Plucking" is practiced: the pluckers select only the bud ("Pekoe" in Mandarin) and the first leaf. Another technique used is "fine picking". In this case, the pickers remove the bud and the first two leaves.
