The Japanese traditionally drink this tea with meals and consider it a classic daily tea.

Large leaves are harvested from the lower, older shoots of the tea tree. The leaves are rich in minerals but contain up to 70% less caffeine than Gyokuro teas, which are obtained from young shoots/tops.

After steeping in water, a carefully worked out leaf reveals the true quality and structure. The taste is very mild, subtle, and lightly grassy.

The subtle note of this tea is suitable for both beginners and true connoisseurs.
