Uji Gyokuro "Yume no Uki-hashi" - The highest grade of gyokuro sold from Japan's oldest continuously operating tea shop. O-Cha.com is honored to offer this superb green tea supplied to us from the Tsuen family who have operated their teashop from same location on the banks of the Uji river since 1160. A very high quality, first-flush gyokuro, this green tea is hand picked and is a proprietary blend of "Gokou" and "Yabukita" breeds of green tea, with the "Gokou" being prominent. . 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! Since this is a connoisseur grade of gyokuro and is not considered a beginner's green tea, make sure to read our brewing instructions as it is brewed differently than sencha.

Available in either 100g or 50g packaging.

Review comment
This gyokuro gives a very intense first steep, the most intense I have gotten so far with any gyokuro. The second and third steeps are less intense though which makes me prefer the Kame Giru Shi.
If you really like gyokuro, you should try it.

Testimonials

I must say once again, that the customer service is second to none! I placed my pre-order for the Shiboridash and the Houhin tea sets with accoutrements and as soon as they came in, I received them in no time. Furthermore, the quality, is exceptional as well. I am so glad that I found this site since I am highly into green tea. A wonderful shopping experience.

Thank you so much Kevin!

I have just received my Shincha tea - Uji Kirameki and Yataka Midori - and both taste wonderful. Opening those packets and smelling the sweetness, I knew that the tea would be a wonderful drink! And they both taste absolutely delicious! The packaging was secure and the shipping was quick! Thank you very much.
