About LA SELECTION de Joel Robuchon
Have you ever had the world’s best tea? The last tea loved by the late Joël Robuchon was truly the world’s finest. His encounter with Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro took place in 2017.
The great chef, known as the king of French cuisine, was actually known to dislike the bitterness of Japanese tea. However, after drinking Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro, he simply said, "This is the world's best tea." It was such an extraordinary experience that it was even chosen for pairing at Robuchon's restaurant in New York.
Even today, the fame of Robuchon restaurants around the world remains unchanged. They continue to earn the respect of industry professionals and delight many gourmet food lovers worldwide.
In honor of the late Joël Robuchon’s final love for Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro, we have decided to offer it as a special limited edition, allowing Robuchon fans, food enthusiasts, and those who appreciate authenticity and quality to experience this remarkable tea.
DESCRIPTION
The gyokuro used in this bottled tea belongs to the highest-grade category of Japanese tea due to its labor-intensive production process. Among them, Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro is the only gyokuro to hold the GI (Geographical Indication) certification, granted by the Japanese government to protect the connection between a product and its region.
Furthermore, it has dominated the National Tea Competition, winning the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award for an unprecedented 21 consecutive years in both the Gyokuro Producer and Gyokuro Production Region categories—solidifying its status as Japan’s ultimate premium tea.
DESCRIPTION
GYOKURO (Refined green tea) is considered the highest-quality category of Japanese tea because it takes a lot of time and effort to produce.
YAME DENTOU HON GYOKURO is the only refined green tea that holds the "GI Authentication" authorized by the Japanese government to protect the relationship between production areas and products. It has been awarded Japan’s number 1 title the "Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize", for 19 consecutive years, including refined green tea producers and the refined green tea production area division of the National Fair of Tea, and truly reigns as premium Japanese tea.
YAME DENTOU HON GYOKURO is produced following the traditional technique of growing tea branches naturally, shading them with shelves made of woven natural straw, and finally picking only the top " tea buds" by hand.
There is a lot of refined green tea in Japan, but "Traditional Authentic YAME GYOKURO" is a miracle tea that can only be produced in "Yame" in the deep mountains, which are ideal for agriculture, located in the Yame region of Kyushu and the southern part of Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan.
This is a superb item that we would like you to enjoy with your loved ones on a special day in your life.
