THE HUE
The deep bright hue of Gokuzyo is so refreshing! It looks just like spring and summer and is such a beautiful tea to gaze into.
THE SCENT
Gokuzyo tells the tale of early spring with every whiff. Chlorophyll rich aromas as well as a slight floral scent flows through the air as Gokuzyo by Japanese Green Tea In steeps.
THE SIP
Without 2 teaspoons of honey, Gokuzyo by Japanese Green Tea In tastes like chlorophyll and flowers. The sip is a bit dry but leaves a clean and fresh floral after taste.
With 2 teaspoons of honey, Gokuzyo by Japanese Green Tea In hides its chlorophyll notes and replaces them with notes of oats, similar to oatmeal. The faint floral notes remain while the sip takes on a less air-y and more silky quality.
THE EFFECT
Eating beignets and sipping Gokuzyo by Japanese Green Tea In…I can do this all day!
