Uji Gyokuro "Shou-Un" - A 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.

I have tasted most of the various Gyokuro's you offer and was surprised that the Shou-un had not been rated yet. I think it is very flavorful and relatively easy to brew compared to some of the others I've tried.

O-Cha.com is an excellent merchant.

Uji Gyokuro Shou-Un is an excellent gyokuro for its price.
The first cup has a noticeable thickness in the mouth and on the tongue ,good flavor:smooth finish; Although not as rich as Uji Gyokuro "Tsurujirushi",for everyday and drinking at this price I must agree with the previous review'
