Japanese Gyokuro Asahi - SOLD OUT - Quartermaine Coffee Roasters

Japanese Gyokuro Asahi - SOLD OUT $17.95 per 1/4lb.

Among the finest of the non-ceremonial teas produced in Japan, Gyokuro ("Pearl Dew") Asahi is prepared entirely by hand, from picking to steaming to drying. The leaves, long, flat and brilliantly green, yield a mellow, full-bodied cup with muted floral notes that recall summertime. Gyokuro Asahi is grown in the shade to minimize photosynthesis. Evidenced by its brilliant color, it is steamed immediately after picking to halt the enzymatic activity that would discolor or "ferment" the leaves.
