This morning, in our tea room in #Treviso, we have a #Gyokuro tasting scheduled, featuring one of the most precious #Japanese teas.
Gyokuro (玉露), meaning "Jade Dew" or "Jewel Dew" in Japanese, perfectly captures not only the rarity of this tea (only 0.3% of all tea produced in #Japan is Gyokuro) but also its rich, intense aroma, a pure expression of umami.

Gyokuro is a rare and precious #tea, crafted with expertise and dedication, particularly through the "shading" process, where the plants are grown in the shade for at least three weeks. This results in a tea with unparalleled sweetness and umami, incredibly refined and with a complex aromatic profile.
At Ikiya, in addition to importing and selling Japanese products, we organize tastings and events focused on tea and other aspects of Japanese culture.
