From Dobashien Tea Company

The Chitose Imperial Gyokuro tea is made of the tea leaves specially selected to yield the richest flavor and taste.

Chitose is an auspicious word named after the Japanese saying, “A thousand years for the crane, a million years for the turtle”, referring to longevity.

The Chitose Imperial Gyokuro tea is made of the tea leaves specially selected out of from the shaded tea field to yield the richest flavor and taste Japan has to offer in gyokuro. The umami flavor created by the high concentration of theanine is very sensitive to temperature, so it is important to steep the first cup at a low 40˚C / 104˚F degree water.
