How to prepare
5 g 0.2 oz 1.2 US tsp
40°C 104°F
120 ml 4.1 fl oz 120 cc
120 sec.~
1. Put 6 g (1.2 tsp ) of Gyokuro into a small Japanese teapot.
2. Cool boiled water down to 40℃ (104ºF) and pour it (120cc) into the teapot.
3. Steep for 2 minutes and pour an equal amount of tea into each cup.
❖ This tea goes 3 steeps. For the second and third infusions, use hotter water and brew shorter.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
Deep vegetable flavor, not much sweetness. Pleasant green bitterness. Has some similarity with spinach, without the mouthfeel. Feels thoroughly rejuvenating in a mature and complex way.

A wonderful gyokuro. It is refreshing and mellow with a very light astringency. I highly recommend this.
