My first gyokuro. A great full and smooth mouthfeel. Very little astringency and a nice sweet flavor. A very different tea on each infusion so make sure you try up to 5! This was a great introduction to gyokuro for me.

If you are looking for a daily gyokuro, this might be a good choice.
It should be brewed at 1g leaf per oz of water as more leaf would yield a less sweet taste.
