Japanese Gyokuro




Gyokuro green tea is considered to be one of the highest quality teas to come from Japan and is renowned for its sweet delicate flavour. The gyokuro tea leaf is a vibrant green needle like leaf which has been carefully cultivated for optimum flavour.
Great care is taken during the growing process to ensure the leaves develop the delicate flavours. During growth large shades are placed over the tea garden around two weeks before picking, this has been done for centuries in Japan for a variety of teas.

Brewing Tips
  • Filtered water is preferred but not essential, and water used should be below 70 degrees C. If you over brew your gyokuro it will become bitter.
  • Gyokuro should be infused for approximately 2 minutes. 
  • Being a high quality tea gyokuro can be infused multipul times.
Trying this tea is a must for any tea enthusiast.
Enjoy!
