Bright citrus notes are complemented by a deep, almost berry-like sweetness as well as a fine presence of natural umami which, however, never becomes dominant. As with the other teas grown and produced at Kamo Shizen N\u014den, the aftertaste is very rich and lingering with a subtle sense of minerality. The tea leaves easily offer four or more good infusion when brewed at gradually higher brewing temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Kamo Gyokuro is moreover an unsorted tea and includes therefore both stems and smaller leaf material. While it may make the leaves look less &#8216;pretty&#8217; to some, both elements contribute as natural sources to the sweetness and viscous texture of the tea. At the same time, we are provided with a hint of the semi-wild environment characterizing Kamo Shizen N\u014den, where tea trees are allowed to grow freely among weeds and other wild forms of vegetation; as a testimony to Mr. Yamazaki&#8217;s farming philosophy, nothing is taken away from the original leaf.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Tea trees | <span lang=\"ja\">\u8336\u6a39<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Cultivar:<\/strong> Gok\u014d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:<\/strong> unknown<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elevation:<\/strong> 150-200m above sea level<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shade:<\/strong> covered for 22 days before harvest<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilisation:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cultivation method:<\/strong> natural farming (read more about organic and natural farming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/organic-and-natural-farming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvest:<\/strong> May 14th 2021<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Production method | <span lang=\"ja\">\u88fd\u8336\u65b9\u6cd5<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Steaming:<\/strong> medium (<em><em>futs\u016bmushi<\/em>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Hi-ire:<\/strong><\/em> none<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Producer | <span lang=\"ja\">\u751f\u7523\u8005<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tokuya Yamazaki at Kamo Shizen N\u014den <span lang=\"ja\">\u52a0\u8302\u81ea\u7136\u8fb2\u5712<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Origin | <span lang=\"ja\">\u7523\u5730<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Kamo in Kyoto, Japan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4><span lang=\"ja\">\u52a0\u8302 \u7389\u9732<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Naturally farmed Gok\u014d Gyokuro harvested after twenty-two days of shading in mid-May 2021 by Tokuya Yamazaki at Kamo Shizen N\u014den in Kamo, Kyoto.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[99,204,210,191],"product_tag":[132,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-11304","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-gyokuro-tea","7":"product_cat-kamo-shizen-noen-kyoto","8":"product_cat-natural-farming","9":"product_cat-tea","10":"product_tag-gyokuro-en","11":"product_tag-unika-en","13":"first","14":"outofstock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=11304"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11304"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.io-te.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
