Product Description
A special tea bag made by Ichikawa Seicha, generously coated with matcha on their "Guri-cha". This tea offers a luxurious taste with a deeper, more vibrant color than regular Guri-cha, and a exquisite harmony between the mellow sweetness unique to matcha and the rich depth of Guri-cha.
■ What is "Guri-cha" (Gyokuro-cha), loved in the Izu region?
The official name for Guri-cha is "Gyokuro-cha". It originated in Kyushu at the end of the Meiji era for export, but it has now become deeply established as a souvenir from the eastern Shizuoka Prefecture and Izu. The major difference from Sencha is that the final manufacturing step of "shaping the leaves (seijō)" is intentionally omitted. This results in the tea leaves having a rounded shape, like a comma (magatama). It came to be called "Guri-cha" from its "gri-gri (curled) appearance".
■ Ichikawa Seicha's Commitment
Our Guri-cha specializes in "deep steaming". By steaming slowly and carefully over time, the tea leaves become finer, and a rich aroma and deep umami dissolve the moment hot water is poured.
