20g | 100g
Gyokuro tea is grown beneath shading, reducing sunlight by around 85%. This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness. The results is an ultra delicate green tea with an extremely sweet taste profile.
Kurihara Tea's Heritage Gyokuro is grown beneath traditional, handmade bamboo and/or straw shading. The moisture that drips from this natural shading flavours the tea leaves.
This Traditional Gyokuro is shaded for three weeks before being machine harvested. The tea leaves are given a medium steam however due to their delicate nature the resulting tea is more similar to a fukamuhi or deep steamed tea.
Steeping Notes: 5g | 100ml | 50°C | 60sec, Second infusion: 100ml | 60°C | 30sec
