More about this Tea
TASTE PROFILE
Smooth, sweet and slightly smoky
FOOD PAIRING
Camembert cheese- creaminess is perfect with nutty flavour of tea
NO.26
NUMEROLOGY
Our Gyokuro tea might be almost neon green, but the colour is entirely natural. Tokyo first started using its famous neon signs in 1926, so we’ve given this tea the number 26.
JAPAN
Tea was first introduced to Japan around the turn of the first millennium, and since then it's become much more than just a drink: chado or "the way of tea" is a fine art for the Japanese that takes a lifetime to master. Today Japan is famous for its lush, verdant green tea, thanks to a process of steaming the leaves.
Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
