Uji Karigane Gyokuro "Asa-Giri", from Uji, near Kyoto, is a high quality blend of first harvest gyokuro  leaf and gyokuro stems. Gyokuro is shade grown before harvesting, giving it a greener color and sweeter taste. The added stems add a tartness to this green tea and the combination of the two make this one very tasty Japanese green tea. It is prepared in exactly the same way as regular gyokuro, meaning more leaf at a lower temperature. Use 10 grams per 300ml or less of water. Be sure to pre-heat teapot and teacups and brew at 55-60C (131~140F) for 1.5~2 minutes.

Available in 100gm packages.

I love this gyokuro for it's different and exciting flavor. It's not as 'thick' on the palate as others because of the tartness from the stems. This gives it a complex and refreshing flavor and has become my favorite for taste and aroma.

This karigane gyokuro is easy to brew and gives three good steeps.
It could be a nice alternative to gyokuro if you want to have gyokuro on a daily basis.

Testimonials

I first found o-cha.com using a search engine for green tea. I have not had such excellent tea since a friend from Japan brought some back for me.

In fact, one of my friends who livied in Japan for mant years commented that your tea took him back to his fondest memories of that time.

This has been a very wonderful experience to shop for tea and teaware.

Thank you for giving a little bit of Japan to me here in the U.S.
