This Gyokuro Reserve is an exquisite work of art by our Japanese tea master. Harvested only once a year, these tender tea buds are shaded from direct sunlight for at least 20 days before harvest. This shade-grown method increases the chlorophyll content of the tea, which results in the beautiful jade green color of the leaves and an incredibly sweet infusion with low level of tannin. The gleaming pale green liquor is marked by its velvety texture and complex notes of roasted vegetables. Each sip fills the palate with hints of chardonnay grapes and coastal sea salt followed by a hazelnut aftertaste. Treat yourself to this luxurious experience any time of the day.
