Very sweet, fresh and silky smooth with a tiny bit of citrus aftertaste. I can’t recall that I’ve ever tried single origin Ujimidori, so not sure if that’s the cultivar characteristics, but the balance of sweetness and freshness make this Karigane a very nice tea. The second steep is more creamy and from there, the grassy and citrus taste starts to evolve. Despite Karigane is a byproduct, I really love that the experience is similar for a Gyokuro, while the price stays affordable. The fourth steep is still enjoyable.

I like my tea strong, so I went with slightly less water. It's an okay pick with a fresh, buttery, sweet umami nose. Not the best color, but it's acceptable for me. On the palate, its sweet, buttery umami flavors with a smooth and rounded licorice high note with a lingering finish. There were hints of fresh vegetal and earthy mineral flavors lingering as well. Remember, I steeped with less water. The "Ohmi Gyokuro" scores higher on my scale but so does its cost. Happy drinking =)

I had never tried Gyokuro tea before, so I was a little apprehensive. But this was incredible. Followed instructions on the packaging, and it came out perfectly. Very flavourful.
