This tea is silky and deeply umami, with a gentle sweet-vegetal note that becomes more distinct mid-sip. Its subtle bitterness gives the cup a beautiful structure, supporting the richness without overwhelming it. The finish is smooth, savory, and lingering, like a quiet presence that stays long after each sip. Labeled Premium Kiwami, this gyokuro reflects the mastery of Yame, a region celebrated for producing some of Japan’s most refined and umami-forward teas. ❤️ tea!
