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.

This is the first good green tea I've ever had. It's very smooth and improves with successive brewings. I'm just ordered this for the 2nd time.

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.

Hi Kevin,

I have bought a few items from you and have been extremely happy with them.

They were: A Tokoname Kyusu teapot, two cups, Sencha tea, Matcha tea and I am waiting on my green tea scoop. You and your website offer exceptional products and the quality is extraordinary, not to mention the customer service which is also phenomenal and friendly.

I will definitely be ordering much more in the future from you.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your teas!; and I loved brewing the Sencha in my Kyusu it adds to the experience and joy of drinking them.

Thank you for this website and offering the products.
Richard
