Description

A high quality gyokuro from the family-owned tea factory, Nagatani Tea. This gyokuro was made from two cultivars that are from the Kyoto prefecture: Gokou and Uji Midori. With the gokou cultivar known for its' rich umami and the Uji Midori characteristic of its aromatic characteristics (floral, creamy aroma), please delight in the dance of these two cultivars! 

A bit more about these two cultivars (for those who are curious): These two cultivars were specifically developed to suit the soil and climate of Kyoto prefecture. Both are cultivars that are well-suited for shading, therefore, it is often made into gyokuro or matcha. Gokou is perhaps the more common, characteristic with its' earthy aroma and deep umami. The aromatic Uji Midori cultivar was selected in 1985 from a seed of zairai (native) tea bushes from Uji. In comparison to the gokou, it is still quite a rare cultivar perhaps because it does not leave a strong impression with its' lighter umami.
