Gyokuro Green Tea

Ten Ren's Gyokuro Green Tea is grown in the shade and steamed to stop the fermentation process. This Japanese tea is grown in the shade for approximately twenty days before harvest giving it a sweeter flavor than other green teas. Tea steeped from these tea leaves has a dark yellow hue. The taste is sweet and fresh, with a strong fresh and slightly astringent aftertaste. The aroma is a light scent of sweet freshness. This beautiful green canister contains 3.5 oz (100g) of very high grade Gyokuro Green tea.

The water used to steep this tea should be about 160-180°F or 70-80°C to prevent scalding the leaves. Use about 1.5 teaspoons (3 grams) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 ml) of water. A steeping time of about 3-5 minutes is recommended with more or less time depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the higher the temperature of the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. The use of a covered glass or ceramic cup is recommended for steeping in order to appreciate the tea leaves. Shipping weight 0.54 lb. Temporarily out of stock.
