GYOKURO HIKARI

“Pearl of Dew”. One of the best Gyokuro teas from the province of Uji.

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.
