Gyokuro, Asanoka

During the Edo era (1603-1867), the predominant Satsuma clan encouraged tea cultivation among the farmers of Kagoshima Prefecture.

Although the region was known until the early 1950s for its mass production of cheap tea the introduction of the Yabukita cultivar and profound improvements in the handling of tea on the farms have positioned this appellation of origin as a supplier of high-quality teas.

This is a very particular Organic Yokuro, rich in L-theanine (sweetness and relaxing effect).
