Yamashita's Gyokuro
Yamashita’s Gyokuro “Yamashita-Jirushi”
Among the Yamashita Gyokuro, this tea is the most affordable. It may well be used as an “initiation” into the compilation of Yamshita’s expert teas. When infused with water at lower temperatures, it emanates a soft and sweet aroma; when infused with hotter water, it will leave a clean and refreshing aftertaste. This is a wonderful gift item for someone special who understands the nuances of Japanese green tea.
