GYOKURO TASTING SET 5 x 10g

We present a unique Gyokuro tasting set from Rishe Tea, bringing you an unforgettable experience of exclusive Japanese teas straight from the private production of master Sakamoto in Kagoshima.

With this luxurious tasting set, embark on a journey full of flavors along 天国への階段 - Stairway to Heaven. Each of the five carefully selected gyokuro will reveal to you a new level of richness and complexity of flavor.

1. GYOKURO KARIGANE - Discover the velvety, sweet flavor of the "Wild Goose", made mostly from stems, which will lead you to calm and focus.
2. GYOKURO CHAMEIJIN - Continue your tasting journey with the "Tea Master", a delicious gyokuro offering finesse, sweetness, and a complex flavor with a long aftertaste.
3. GYOKURO KIWAMI - The "Furthest Pole", a high grade of excellent gyokuro from the Saemidori cultivar
4. GYOKURO TENHOUJI  - A truly unique tea with an amazing aroma and an unrepeatable flavor. Something you have never smelled or tasted in any other tea. An absolute minimum of caffeine, but an extra portion of L-theanine.
5. GYOKURO SÓ  - The "Zen Monk"  with a traditional four-week shading, this gyokuro has a notably strong umami, which develops into a deep, yet gently rounded flavor. The aroma is intense, fresh, and harmonious - like a spring breeze carrying traces of the sea, nori, spinach, and a sweet creamy undertone.

For the best experience, we recommend tasting the teas in the order listed. With each further step, you will encounter greater complexity and depth of flavor, thanks to which you will appreciate the top-grade varieties even more after the previous "journey".
