This Grand Cru is from Hebizuka, the "hill of snakes". This plot is one of Japan's highest. This tea is made by Mr. Nakamura. Unlike most Japanese teas, its leaves are harvested by hand. Local legends say the rocks of the Hebizuka tea garden are home to snakes.
An intense gyokuro marked by an extraordinary floral hint! Its thick texture and umami taste showcase the best Shizuoka has to offer.
Shincha are so delicate that they can be eaten as a salad with shoyu, goma and katsuobushi (soy sauce, sesame seeds and bonito).
Grands Crus: savour the exceptional
Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower. Meticulously plucked, processed and sourced in the most respected tea gardens, our Grands Crus unveil unique flavours that reflect the refinement of their origins.
