We were only able to secure 1kg of this extremely special tea.

Our Gyokuro Shincha green tea is characterised by a delicious sweetness and spring flower aroma. Shincha retains these flavours in abundance until the end of June after which it takes on a more robust and mature flavour as it ages.

We recommend making the most of this tea while it is at its freshest, throughout June.

Due to the quality of the leaf, this Gyokuro can be infused 4-5 times.
