Ceremonial Matcha “Koetsu”
Silver at the Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2019, chosen from 129 matcha.
Once a year, the highest evaluating authority in the world of Japanese tea holds a national tea exhibition. This Shuppin-Gyokuro (exhibition Gyokuro) is a blend of Gyokuro teas, carefully selected, and closely examined, for exhibition purposes. Please enjoy the taste of this special tea, which combines the labour of many tea farmers who have presented the best of their crop at the national exhibition. The sweet taste characteristic to Gyokuro, and beautiful colour and shapes of the emerald tea leaves, truly are remarkable in this blend. The final product was created under Maiko Tea’s tea expert, Yamashita Toshikazu’s, careful supervision.
