It's been really cold every day, but are you all drinking tea?
This winter, a special tea will be available for a limited time.
Yame City in Fukuoka Prefecture is Japan's number one producer of gyokuro tea.
"Okumidori," the finest Yame tea, is made using traditional methods at "Hoshino Village Takagi Tea Garden."
The traditional method of cultivating hon-gyokuro tea is called "natural cultivation," in which the branches of the tea plants are not pruned but allowed to grow naturally, and when 1 to 1.5 new leaves appear, they are shaded.
While tea leaf harvesting is now mostly done by machine, "Traditional Gyokuro" tea leaves are still picked by hand.
This tea is a top-quality product, crafted from carefully selected tea leaves using expert techniques to create a rich and smooth flavor.
With just one bite, a rich sweetness and mellow flavor will fill your mouth.
