Gyokuro Supergrade Organic

This excellent Gyokuro from the Uji region is probably one of the most exciting shade-grown teas we have ever had the pleasure of selling.

It impresses with its typical Japanese seaweed-umami profile, creamy infusion, and strong/cloudy green color. It also develops no bitter notes, even when enjoyed cooled. The tea bushes are deprived of sunlight for several weeks, which allows it to develop its excellent aroma.

This tea is brewed with 60°C hot water. It is also ideally suited for cold infusions in a suitable Shiboridashi or Kyusu.

Character: sweet, seaweedy, umami, creamy, delicate

Region: Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
