#0692.K6 Uejima Tea Farm: Gyokuro Gokou from Wazuka Village, Kyoto 宇治和束茶玉露
A high quality, rich gyokuro coming from one of the most famous source regions of Ujicha, the village of Wazuka, where tea farmer Uejima-san is based. Gokou is an unregistered tea cultivar from Kyoto Prefecture which is mainly used to make gyokuro or tencha. It is a cultivar that works very well with shaded cultivation methods and so it is uncommon to find a gokou sencha. This gyokoro gokou from Uejima-san has a notable aroma and rich, creamy umami. Uejima-san's gyokuro is definitely worth at try, so if you aren't sure about trying the gokou cultivar, his Uji Kyotonabe premium gyokuro is just as excellent.
