An excellent hand-rolled Gyokuro. The leaves come from Fugenji, near Kyoto and have been shaded for 3 weeks. It was made by a friend tea producers from Hiruma-san, a well-known expert for hand-rolled teas.

Temomicha - a hand-rolled tea. This is rare in Japan, as the tea production is mostly mechanised. After steaming, the tea is produced on a type of heated table. This procedure can last for up to seven hours and requires great attention and care. Thus are produced very small quantities of tea of outstanding quality.
