Description

Grown in the Kyoto Imperial region, this tea is a marriage between a refined sencha tea, well known for its subtle aroma and flavour and a Matcha tea, a fine powder made from the same fresh leaves used to obtain the prestigious Gyokuro, shaded from the sun before the plucking. Both are from Uji.
Its leaves – of a jade green hue, elegant and regular – yield colour and brightness to the transparent liquor.
The cup, a rare balance of strength and delicacy, produces a rich, smooth liquor and a flowery bouquet, fresh and sparkling with a slightly sweet and persistent note.
This modern Tanka, derived from the eminent form of Japanese literature, is poetry to be leafed through ever so slowly.

This modern Tanka, from the name of the eminent Japanese literature, is a poem to be thinned out the leaves

" Thé de la poésie "
Cultivé dans la région de Kyoto, cette composition consacre le mariage d’un subtil sencha réputé pour sa saveur, et d’un thé d’ombre, un Matcha, fine poudre obtenue à partir de feuilles fraîches du prestigieux gyokuro, les deux en provenance d’Uji.
Ses feuilles jade, élégantes et régulières, lèguent à la liqueur transparente leur couleur et une délicate brillance.
La tasse donne une liqueur à la riche charpente moelleuse au service d’un beau bouquet fleuri couronné d’une douceur tonique légèrement sucrée et longtemps persistante en bouche.
Ce Tanka moderne, du nom de la forme littéraire la plus éminente du Japon, est un poème à effeuiller.
