About This Tea
What does Gyokuro taste like?
This organic Japanese green tea unfurls with a fresh, grassy scent reminiscent of spring's bounty. The dark green, flat leaves yield a characteristically bold and delicious taste, evoking notes of fre. It leans vegetal, umami and fresh.
How should I brew Gyokuro?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
