"A Garden in Bloom"
Gyokuro Jade Dew
Ingredients: Green tea from the Uji tea gardens near Kyoto, Japan.
Description: Three weeks before this tea is harvested, the growers shade the fields over. Then when harvesting time comes, they hand cut the leaves using small scissors. The result is Japan’s most elegant tea. These needle shaped emerald leaves produce a brilliant yellow liquor with a sweet seaweed smell. A single taste reveals an exquisitely complex array of flavors, from kelp-like to sweet to nutty. Sip slowly and let your senses awaken.
Japanese Sencha
Ingredients: Green tea from the Shizuoka region near Mount Fuji, Japan.
Description: These tea leaves are picked and then steamed, making Sencha Japan’s most classic unflavored tea. It has all the sweetness of green teas along with characteristic seaweed tones. It is full of health benefits, producing disease fighting compounds and a high level of antioxidants in every cup. Nothing says modern elegance like this beverage where full flavor is only matched by its healthiness.
Genmaicha
Ingredients: Japanese Sencha green tea, roasted rice, popped corn.
Description: Look for a savory nuttiness balanced by a robust grassiness in this traditional tea from Japan.
