Gyokuro is matured under full shade for 3 weeks and has an aroma of orange blossoms. Savory and earthly this tea has memories of nori and whispers of french beans and cucumbers. Gyokuro is an exceptional tea that demands a unique brewing method to reach its full potential. Using a lower water temperature is key, use between 120F and 140F water when brewing. Use 1 to 2 grams of tea per ounce of water and let the tea steep for 5 minutes for the first steeping. Subsequent steepings require only a minute or two.
