(3 reviews)  

Uji Gyokuro "Tsuru-jirushi" - One of our very our highest quality gyokuro and available only in limited supplies, we offer this gyokuro in 50 gram packages. From the same supplier as our already famous Gyokuro "Kame-Jirushi", this is absolutely the highest quality gyokuro we can obtain from them. An extremely high quality 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! As this is an expensive, high quality green tea be sure to read our gyokuro brewing instructions carefully as it is brewed differently than sencha. Available in 50gm package.

Excellent! Sweeter and clearer than the Kame Jiru Shi, my favorite gyokuro so far. I will now have to alternate between both I guess. The price is evidently quite high, less expensive than a good bottle of Champagne though.
Not difficult at all to brew if you keep to parameters.

This site has fantastic gyokuro in general, so when I say that the Tsuru-Jiru-Shi is the best that really means something. This tea is absolutely stunning in every way. The leaf lets off a fantastic aroma and the brew packs a serious punch, an explosion

Advantages: The best Gyokuro I have ever had.

I liked it more than Kame Jirushi.

This cup is very nice. Very well made, you can just feel the quality. It is more greenish-grey than the picture, but it's color kind of changes with the light or if the outside gets wet.

Testimonials

Well, I have been tasting O-Cha.com teas for years now and my opinion about their teas cannot be just emotional. When you use their fabulous teas for years and you never get tired of them, well that means they are really super. And since this is an on line store, Kevin's support is just fantastic.
Believe to a faithful O-cha.com customer!
Thanks Kevin.

Excellent service. Being a European living in China, I still enjoy japanese tea sometimes, and the fact that this company is based in Japan means that I always receive very fast all my orders. And I don't know where else I could find such a large selection of fine japanese teas.

I'll be ordering again.
