In the region of Kagoshima tea farmers protect from the sun their shrubs during a certain amount of time before harvesting the leaves. That way, it alters the natural ration of chlorophyll in plants and stimulates tea leaves to produce more amino acids that affect the “softness” of the infusion. This Gyokuro tea quality has been protected from the sun for two weeks. Harvest is in late August, when the night dew is especially abundant. Therefore is a high quality tea, 100% bio and organic (B.I.O./N.O.P.), very fine-tasting but full-bodied, aromatic and fragrant. You can infuse twice; the leaves are very good combined with lettuce and/or just with a little bit of oil. Perfect for drinking it alone; between meals or with fish meals.
