Gyokuro Green Tea in Blue Decorative Tin - 60g

Gyokuro green tea is one of the most famous and luxurious green teas from Japan, made by avoiding direct sunlight by providing shade for the tea fields for 20 days, creating a rich umami and sweetness.

Aim for 3-4g of tea leaves per person. As you can enjoy the umami more at lower temperatures, cool your water to around 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius), pour the water in gently to the tea pot and let steep in the teapot for 2 minutes. You will be able to enjoy the sweetness and thick texture unique to the Gyokuro. Use a smaller tea pot for Gyokuro (about 90cc)

Each container has 60 g of tea leaves 

General serving suggestion: 1 tablespoon of leaves for 1 person, 2 tablespoons for 3 people, 3 tablespoons for 5 people. Add more if you would like more intense aroma. 

If you like a milder aroma and flavor, enjoy at water temperatures below 60 C. If you prefer a stronger aroma and more shibumi (bitterness), enjoy at hotter temperatures. 

Refrigerate after opening. 

Avoid storing in direct sunlight and in high temperature, humid areas 

Comes in a beautiful decorative tin that can be re-used for various purposes.
