GYOKURO SASAHIME 50g

Sasahime ("Princess of the Night") is a balanced gyokuro that will delight any lover of this tea with its delicious sweetness and a range of flavours with a considerable number of infusions.  The delicate umami here is rounded off by slightly grassy notes with a slight sourness. Sasahime doesn't come from a classic single cultivar, but from a masterful combination of three.
