Vendor Notes
This exquisite Gyokuro unveils a remarkably thick, jellied texture on the palate. Its profile is a complex interplay of rich umami broth, sweetcorn, and delicate white chocolate, gracefully balanced by hints of lemon blossom and a lingering, candyfloss sweetness. The tea offers a deeply meditative experience, a true testament to its meticulous Komo shading and hand-picking.
