Yamashita Premium Gyokuro Set

Toshikazu Yamashita (shown on the fifth photo) is Japan's most famous Gyokuro master who revolutionized tea production in Japan. For age reasons, however, he left the entire production to his grandson, who after 2018 also won the Kansai competition in 2019. Please do not confuse this with Yamashita Shuppin, Yashiki no cha or Takumi - the quality of these is considered lower.
Thanks to our personal relationship with Mr. Yamashita, we are able to offer teas from small batches exclusively, which are not even available on the Japanese market.

This consists of the following teas:

Yamashita Competition Grade Gyokuro "Gokô"
