The last japanese tea from 2022 for me is also the only Gyokuro I had this year. It is not as intensely savoury and thick as traditional gyokuro tends to be. Rather, I find it to have a relatively cooling, forest-like and herbaceous vibe.
The aroma is toasty with sweet florals and a hint of cacao. Liquor has a medium body and a smooth, very well-balanced taste – sweet, mineral, nutty, umami all come together pretty well here. There are flavours of broth, lime, and pine, as well as sugarcane particularly in the aftertaste.
