Uji Gyokuro "Gyoku-Hou" - A very high quality first-flush gyokuro from Uji, near Kyoto. Gyokuro is shade grown before harvesting, giving it a greener color and sweeter taste. Once you learn to make it properly, you wil be hooked for life! Make sure to read our brewing instructions, as it is brewed differently than sencha.

Available in 100gm packages.

Easy to brew (as long as you follow the brewing instructions), this gyokuro is a high quality one.
I brew it at 2g/30ml water and got five good steeps of it.
I however prefer the kame-jirushi gyokuro.
