Description
The picking is carefully done by hand and only once a year, in the spring. A harvester needs more than a day just to obtain one kilogram of this famous tea. The processing of the leaves is also entirely done by hand, according to ancestral traditions. Accessible only by foot, after more than 5 hours of climbing, the crates of tea must leave the garden on the same way, thus beginning their long journey. A majestic tea.
Dried leaves: The young shoots are shaped into long, unbroken needles, which sport a beautifully matte shade of celadon green punctuated with the silvery touches of the buds.
nfused leaves: The bouquet is bright, round and reassuring, assemblageing the aromas of bamboo resin, raw peanut and medlar compote.
Liqueur: As limpid and brilliant as green amethyst, the liqueur is like a bamboo forest in spring: full of freshness and life. It exudes the fruity sweetness of green nashi and the liveliness of candied rosehip. Supple and balanced with incredibly right texture, the liqueur plays its fruity score on the palate for a long time.
