Uji Gyokuro "Kame-Jiru-Shi" - From the 2009 harvest, currently one of our very highest quality gyokuro green teas and available only in limited supplies. We offer this gyokuro in 50 gram packages. From Uji, near Kyoto, the top 2 leaves are picked by hand. 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! As this is an expensive, high quality green tea be sure to read our gyokuro brewing instructions carefully as it is brewed differently than sencha.

Love it. I think this is my favorite gyokuro I've every tasted. Wonderful sweetness and 'veggie protein' taste. It has a nice minty bitterness ('gan' in the world of oolong/puerh) that is refreshing. Strong sweet taste without bitterness.
Rich indulgence!
