Uji Gyokuro Fujitsubo
O-Cha.com is honored to offer gyokuro "Fujitsubo", supplied to us from the Tsuen family who operate Japan's oldest tea shop located on the banks of the Uji river. Uji Gyokuro "Fujitsubo" is a very high quality, authentic first-flush gyokuro, this tea is a proprietary blend of Saemidori and Yabukita green tea with the Saemidori being prominent. Gyokuro is shade grown before harvesting, giving it a greener color and sweeter taste. Once you learn to make it properly, you will be hooked for life! Make sure to read our brewing instructions, as it is brewed differently than sencha.

- Stephen ChenNov 13, 2017, 05:30Excellent tea, be careful with the brew!
- Justin EarnestNov 10, 2017, 01:32A delicious high-quality gyokuro. The more I brew this one, the more I like it. Brewing times/temperatures are tricky with this one. I can get several steepings from it. This one is light, subtle, and sweet with a light color. It's one of the sweeter Gyokuro's I've tasted. Although it's a great tea, I prefer the Uji Yume no Ukihashi since it has a little more body.
- Risto OjalaJun 2, 2017, 17:13Nice taste, nice color, remember right temperature, and you will enjoy good taste!
- Nancy HallDec 21, 2016, 07:08Outstanding tea that is perfect every morning. It is slightly sweet and mellow and brews perfectly at 165 degrees for 3.5 minutes. This is one of my favorites.
- John LebelMay 15, 2016, 02:59This is excellent tea! Easy to brew following your directions and can be steeped many times.
- Jens EvensenApr 2, 2013, 05:39One of my favorite teas.
- Martin SiudaDec 30, 2011, 09:00From the moment I opened the packaging and took that first whif, I knew I would enjoy this tea. If brewed correctly, it has a nice, sweet taste on the first infusion with a flavour that lingers long after your cup is empty. I would recommend this tea to any first time gyokuro drinker.

Is your packaging resealable.
Feb 2, 2019, 10:03Hello,
Some of our teas are, but this particular one is not resealable. You will need to seal it up well or put it into some kind of container. - Oct 6, 2018, 04:03
