Unlike the popular "Shincha" ("new tea"), Gyokuro Nomigoro ("tea time") belongs to the "Kuradashicha" (aged teas). Like a good wine, it takes several years for its distinct flavor to mature. Tea master Yamashita of Maikotea stores this tea in cold storage for about five years to give it its characteristic sweetness and particularly floral flavor. The tightly rolled, dark green tea leaves produce a beverage of light color and soft consistency that is pleasantly aromatic in the mouth. The tea retains its excellent flavor over 4 to 5 infusions.
This "tea from the garden of the master" is of unmatched quality and unique in the world history of tea cultivation. The plants grow in the garden surrounding the residence of our tea master, Yamashita Toshikazu, who is well known and respected throughout Japan and beyond. Mr. Yamashita personally oversees the production of this unique tea day after day, ensuring that every step in the cultivation and processing is done with the utmost care and skill. Yamashita's Yashiki no cha is deliciously fragrant and has a distinctive flavor: full-bodied-precious, floral, sweet and gentle. Because of the extremely laborious and lengthy production process, Mr. Yamashita makes only a few kilograms of his "master garden tea" each year. Due to their extraordinary quality, the tightly rolled, dark green tea leaves retain their highly aromatic flavor even after the fourth or fifth infusion.
