Green tea from Kyōtanabe, Japan with a gentle, silky taste
This Gyokuro is produced in Kyotanabe city, the southern part of Kyoto. Kyōtanabe city is the most famous place of Uji Gyokuro.
The producers cover this plantation with straw for about 20 days and put extra fragrance into the fresh tea leaves.
We recommend this gourmet tea for those who desire a delicacy. It is a truly premium offer. Its preparation demands attention and patience, but its delicious flavor is a worthy reward for all the care and attention. It is worthwhile to take a whiff of both the steamed, and the still dry tea leaves inside the pre-heated kettle, prior to steeping, as the scent of the tea is absolutely astonishing: like a blend of freshly cut vegetables and ripe fruit. When prepared with cold water, it has a surprisingly sweet, full-bodied flavor, while preparation with high temperature water couples the richness of the tea's flavor with scratchy notes.

The smell of the leaves are a bit grainy, like fresh corn, so I was expecting something similar to certain Kagoshima Gyokuro, but it is not the case at all. The taste has a very intense marine, seaweed base with a creamy vegetable aftertaste. It is very difficult to pinpoint which one is more powerful, as the notes almost did a choreographed dance to show off their own complexity, especially in the first steep. Sometimes I felt I am having different teas, which I’ve found it quite rare with a single cultivar tea. It is a great Gyokuro if you are looking for an occasional tea to show your friends something interesting.

The previous reviews are right, this IS an amazing tea. It's also very hard to describe. To me, personally, this reminds me of both dashi and a great clear mushroom soup, but doesn't remind me too much of either to be either too strong or too fungal. Instead, it's a very clear, sweet brew with hints of ocean, hints of salt, hints of hearty broth and to me, a hint of tempura. I can also see the comparison to miso as well. At the end of the day it's just a great tea that packs a lot of flavor without veering in to the realms of bitterness or astringency. For brewing, I followed the instructions it came with, to great results.

Excellent! Better than the Ohmi Gyokuro, which is also good. It smells very pleasant, sweet and refined when warm water touches the leaves. On the palate, it's smooth, refined, sweet, and slightly salty, like a seaweed soup (not the best description, but that's what it reminds me of). It's round and not too heavy on the mouthfeel. Elegant with a moderate finish. No bitterness of astringents from this delicate beauty. Gentle and silky, as its description states.

Fabulous and complex with no bitterness when made with 50 ml room temperature water in a small shiboridashi and steeped for 15 minutes. It comes out very oily and rich with a very long finish.

Very dense, flavorful tea, sweetish, with a long mineral and sweet aftertaste. Taste is difficult to describe. It is distinctly umami, reminiscent of miso, cooked spinach. No bitterness or astringency. Gentle refreshing bitterness in late infusion using warmer water.

An excellent, smooth, mellow green tea which I brewed the same way that I do sencha. Dark green leaf with little or no bits or dust. Brewed like sencha it has a nice light green color and no bitterness at all. I did not try brewing this the way gyokuro is normally brewed. Another excellent tea from Sazen!
