#0880.K6 Nishide Tea: Ujitawara Gyokuro Hoshun Naturally Grown by Farmer Katsutani Kenji 農家勝谷さんの伝統本玉露ほうしゅん
Made from a rare cultivar, hoshun 鳳春 (spring phoenix), this gyokuro has recently been highly sought after by gyokuro connoisseurs in Japan for it's delicate, sweet flavor profile. Grown from the seed of a samidori cultivar plant, hoshun flushes 10 days earlier than the standard Yabukita cultivar and is meant for early harvesting to create high grade tea.
