Gyokuro Asahi is also known as ‘dew of a pearl’. Can’t go wrong with such a romantic name right? The tea plants grow in the shadow of broadleaf trees and are covered with bamboo mats two weeks before picking. The result is less development of tannic acids and a typical Japanese tanginess. The tea has a stimulating effect due to its high caffeine content. We just love the full rich flavors of seaweed, miso and green grass. If you know, you know!
