The golden color of its needles is only the first surprise from this Japanese green tea from Shizuoka. Once infused, you'll find a yellow, velvet-textured liquor, with buttery and vegetable flavours (snow peas, corn).

While its delicacy will also take you by surprise, it definitely won't leave any Japanese tea enthusiasts indifferent.

A hidden gem!
