GYOKURO HIKARI
“Pearl of Dew”. One of the best Gyokuro teas from the province of Uji. To create this exceptional tea the tenderest buds are selected by hand, something that is very rare in Japan, and then one by one, finely rolled. In this tea one discovers a lively, fresh taste, with an absolute remarkable delicacy and roundness; the result of a refinement and a degree of care that only the Japanese are capable of. A tea to delight any tea lover.
For optimum enjoyment infuse 10 g of tea in 60 ml of water at 50°C for two minutes.

GRAND JASMIN MU DAN
Rare and sculpted tea from the Chinese Fujian province. This very spectacular tea is prepared using long silver tips and young tender leaves, to which freshly plucked jasmine flowers are added. To retain the tea's mild flavour, these flowers are finally delicately removed by hand. Silver tips and young leaves are sewn together by hand with an amaranth flower, before being shaped into a ball. Only just visible when the tea is in its dried form, the amaranth bud is released into the cup after being infused for a few minutes. As it opens up, the tea forms the amazing shape of a flower with a pink heart. A few pink petals detach themselves and float to the surface of the cup. This exceptionally delicate work is only matched by the tea's equally fine flavour, as the softness of the green tea reveals to be the perfect complement to the subtlety of the jasmine.
Suggestion of presentation. Cup not provided.

JASMINE PEARLS
Very rare and available very sporadically, the Jasmine Pearls are produced using best quality green tea leaves. They are rolled by hand into tiny round balls. By being folded in the leaf preserves the delicate fragrance of the jasmine flower with which it was scented. This spectacular tea produces a beverage of the highest quality: the softness of the green tea is the perfect complement to the subtlety of the jasmine. The roundness and the smoothness of the beverage feels like a pearl of tea to the palate. A jasmine tea must !

GRAND JASMIN MAO FENG
'Hair tips'. A very rare jasmine tea composed almost entirely of tips. This tea disappeared for a long time before the Fujian province began producing it again in very small quantities. It contains no flowers; they are removed to avoid bitterness when the tea is infused. The smoothness of the liquor and its subtle bouquet makes this an exceptional tea.

It is excellent with meals, especially with fish. It is a very thirst quenching tea that is low in caffeine, ideal in the evening.
