150272

A true concentrate of umami for food and tea pairings This Japanese Gyokuro green tea, grown to exceptionally high organic standards, is characterised by an exceptional concentration of theanine and amino acids, giving it a silky texture and a unique aromatic depth. Its meticulous shade-grown cultivation and hand-picking without chemical inputs preserve the purity of its deep emerald green leaves whilst enhancing its natural nutrients. It is for this masterful organoleptic richness, capable of rivalling the finest broths in our gastronomy, that this prestigious vintage has been selected by Le Delas to enrich the palette of sommeliers and culinary maestros. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Culinary pairings: This characterful elixir lends itself remarkably well to high-end pairings, brilliantly accompanying fatty fish sashimi, poached premium shellfish or contemporary creations featuring wild mushrooms. ► Enhancing dishes: Once infused, the leaves of this grand cru retain a tender texture and a vegetal sweetness that allow chefs to process them directly through a sieve, for example, finely chopped in a seafood tartare or incorporated into a delicate emulsion. ► Preparation and precise infusion: To extract the quintessence of the aromas and umami without developing tannic bitterness, pour water strictly tempered to around 50°C over a generous quantity of leaves, allow to infuse for 30 seconds, then strain the infusion, taking care to extract every last drop. ► Storage: This delicate, high-quality product requires careful storage away from direct light and heat, keeping the container tightly sealed in a cool area at a constant temperature to preserve its physico-chemical properties and volatile essential oils.
