Description

Yame Gyokuro Grade 1 is a high quality first flush Gyokuro grown in Yame, Japan. Yame is one of the most important Gyokuro growing regions in Japan, it produces more than half of all Gyokuro teas! Our Yame Gyokuro Grade 1 is treated as a luxury tea for a special occasion. Gyokuro is specialty Japanese tea that is shaded for approximately three weeks. Before harvest the tea trees are covered using old traditional methods with special bamboo tents. Shading produces tea that is theanine-rich, and very aromatic and produces a liquor that is a beautiful shade of green; the flavor is uniquely sweet and delicate, without any astringency!

Our high quality Yame Gyokuro Grade 1 is treated as a luxury for a special occasion because of its rarity and extraordinary taste, aroma and complex characteristics. This is not your every day tea but a tea that should be celebrated with!

.....Oh I don't know I can see making this my everyday tea. For the price quite exquisite. Drinks nicely if steeped on the long or short side of the 1 to 2 min. range. I do wish you would put your rec. amounts in grams though . While I know most people may not own a gram scale any high end tea drinker should own one and they aren't any more expensive than 75 grams of this tea.-d-

[FR] Deuxième message: Ce thé demeure remarquable. Après plusieurs essais, je recommande de fire bouillir l’eau à 70 C. Il sent tellement bon et sa couleur ajoute à l’expérience.

[FR] Nous adorons les thés verts japonais. Celui-ci est est d’une très grande qualité. L’odeur qui émane du sac donne le goût d’en manger. L’odeur se poursuit pendant l’infusion. Le goût est caractéristique du Gyokuro, sans amertume et avec une bonne longueur en bouche.

Un thé vert remarquable!

My favorite green tea out of all the ones I've had. It's got lots of grassy alfalfa flavor, with umami theanine aftertaste. Very light and smooth.
