Green tea from Kyōtanabe, Japan with a gentle, silky taste
This Gyokuro is produced in Kyotanabe city, the southern part of Kyoto. Kyōtanabe city is the most famous place of Uji Gyokuro.
The producers cover this plantation with straw for about 20 days and put extra fragrance into the fresh tea leaves.
We recommend this gourmet tea for those who desire a delicacy. It is a truly premium offer. Its preparation demands attention and patience, but its delicious flavor is a worthy reward for all the care and attention. It is worthwhile to take a whiff of both the steamed, and the still dry tea leaves inside the pre-heated kettle, prior to steeping, as the scent of the tea is absolutely astonishing: like a blend of freshly cut vegetables and ripe fruit. When prepared with cold water, it has a surprisingly sweet, full-bodied flavor, while preparation with high temperature water couples the richness of the tea's flavor with scratchy notes.

Very dense, flavorful tea, sweetish, with a long mineral and sweet aftertaste. Taste is difficult to describe. It is distinctly umami, reminiscent of miso, cooked spinach. No bitterness or astringency. Gentle refreshing bitterness in late infusion using warmer water.

An excellent, smooth, mellow green tea which I brewed the same way that I do sencha. Dark green leaf with little or no bits or dust. Brewed like sencha it has a nice light green color and no bitterness at all. I did not try brewing this the way gyokuro is normally brewed. Another excellent tea from Sazen!
