Aristotle on Nature

"In all things of nature, there is something of the marvellous."

- Aristotle

With its tender mildness and a hint of sweetness, this tea is also known as "Jade Dew". Gyokuro is one of Japan's most expensive and rarest teas due to its costly cultivation process. The tea plants are covered with bamboo mats for 20 days before picking. This causes the chemistry in the leaf to change and increase the amino acids, sugar and caffeine, which is responsible for the unique smooth taste.
