Guricha
When poured into a teacup, a deep green color rises beautifully. With the first sip, you are greeted by a mellow richness and sweetness. The astringency is soft, gently lingering on the palate. Guricha is a tea born in Izu, produced by thoroughly steaming fresh leaves to their core. Because the 'seimo' process (shaping the tea leaves) is intentionally omitted, the leaves take on a twisted shape similar to a magatama bead, which is the origin of its name. This technique is also the secret to its smoothness, allowing the components to dissolve easily. It has a history dating back to the late Taisho era, when it was created as an export-quality Gyokuro. It is a cup you'll want to savor slowly while gazing out at the Izu sea. Perfect as a souvenir.
