A tea rarity from the 'gyokuro guru' himself, Master Sakamoto. Taste of Heaven.
Hand harvesting is used only exceptionally and only for the highest grades of Gyokuro.
Strong umami, nuttiness and complex roundness. All the delicious flavours of the previous varieties are enriched here with 'something' extra... And that something is flavour heaven.
The tea equivalent of a bottle of exclusive wine that you will open for a special occasion and remember fondly for a long time.
