Asa No Yume translates to ‘Morning Dream’, a name given to this tea because of the Asatsuyu varietal it’s built on. Asatsuyu is referred to as ‘Natural Gyokuro’ because of its rich umami and persistent sweetness, traits that are accentuated by the expert processing of this light steamed, tamaryokucha preparation. The Matsuo family and this tea were recognized in 2018 for their peerless methods with the Nihoncha Award Grand Prize. Brewed in the cup, you can expect beautiful aromatics, a refreshing and focused flavor, and a lasting buttery sweetness.
