A beautiful savoury green tea that rewards mindful preparation. It even tastes great when it's at room temperature. Best enjoyed with a slice of watermelon ona warm day!

Product Details

Sōshin Special Select 'Crown' Gyokuro tea 宝冠玉露 is a shaded growth hand picked leaf from Uji Valley.

Starts rich and smooth; and then the experience is boosted with an alluring silky mouthfeel not commonly experienced in other teas lending to its superb 'Crown' status as its name indicates.

Gyokuro is not a tea that should be hurried. It needs sensitive awareness to brew it properly and close attention to hear its virtues.

I recommend 8 grams added to a small pre-heated pot (200ml). Close to boiling water needs to rest in a pouring jar and cooled to sub 80C.

You can play around with the temperature here, but say at 65C and steeped for 2 minutes (or possible a bit more) will give a very unique sipping profile.

Gyokuro can be 'difficult' for the uninitiated to get right but if you are truly 'into' teas from Uji, I say persevere and be rewarded.

Steep on...
