Honyama Gyokuro | Organic | 2023

本山 玉露

Hand-picked gyokuro harvested at Saitō Chaen from a single garden of organically farmed Yabukita tea trees nestled deep in the mountainous Honyama region.
Thirty days of shade combined with the uncompromising harvest by hand and subsequent light asamushi steaming bestows Mr. Saitō’s Honyama Gyokuro with an elegant and almost timeless expression, bringing together refreshing berry sweetness and characteristic sensations of lingering ocean-like umami with a discreet, but pleasant warmth from the final hi-ire firing in classic Shizuoka style.
