Another organic masterpiece from Mr. Konishi.  This beautifully crafted and shaded tea resonates with rich umami notes and a clear Harumidori character, yet in the hands of this elegant tea maker, it blooms anew and finds new depths.

About No. 26, Gyokuro

Another organic masterpiece from Mr. Konishi.  This beautifully crafted and shaded tea resonates with rich umami notes and a clear Harumidori character, yet in the hands of this elegant tea maker, it blooms anew and finds new depths.  Spring harvested, higher-elevation (relative to Japan) grown buds reveal a complex and herbaceous cup with concentrated notes of fresh edamame, fleeting chestnut-like notions of kofuki squash and burdock root. It elicits an uplifting energy and profound clarity and elegance, much like the farmer himself. One of a kind.
