About This Tea
What does Hon Gyokuro Mare taste like?
This premium Japanese Gyokuro from Yame offers a deep emerald infusion and a profound, savory umami taste. The careful shading with traditional rice straw mats contributes to its unique richness and s. It leans umami, deep and fresh.
How should I brew Hon Gyokuro Mare?
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.
Where does Hon Gyokuro Mare come from?
Grown in Fukuoka, Japan.
