Gyokuro Kyohomare

Gyokuro Kyohomare is the finest, top-tier gyokuro in Kanbayashi Shunsho's portfolio. It offers a smooth, silky texture with a rich umami flavor. It is full-bodied and mellow, with the fresh yet sweet notes of honeydew melon. The blend of rich depth and fruity smoothness makes this tea exceptionally indulgent.

The Gyokuro Kyohomare comes in two versions:
1. Gyokuro Kyohomare - 100 g BAG
2. Gyokuro - Sencha Gift Set: 140 g CAN Gyokuro Kyohomare + 140 g CAN Sencha Kyonishiki


Gyokuro - Sencha Gift Set
The set includes:
● a 140 g CAN Gyokuro Kyohomare
● a 140 g CAN Sencha Kyonishiki: a light-bodied and verdant sencha with the fresh verdure of a spring breeze. It is a green and pleasantly bitter tea on the top of Kanbayashi Shunsho's sencha portfolio.

The gift packaging for the gift set is elegant and perfectly captures a sense of Japanese luxury.


HOW TO PREPARE

Gyokuro Kyohomare
The tea goes three wonderful steeps. For the first brew, use 60 ml (2 fl oz) 40℃ (104°F) water and steep for about 2 minutes. For the next two brews, shorten the steeping time to 1 minute but do not use much hotter water. Water at 45℃ brings out the sweetness and flavor of the gyokuro without releasing any bitterness.

Sencha Kyonishiki
Sazen's recommendation:
Kanbayashi Shunsho's sencha are on the lighter and greener side. To keep the sweetness well-balanced with the refreshing bitterness of green tea, use 5 g tea leaves and brew with 180 ml (6 fl oz) 70℃ (158°F) water for 40 seconds. For the second brew, shorten the steeping time to 10 seconds.
Kanbayashi Shunsho's recommendation:
Use 8-10g tea leaves and brew with 180 ml (6 fl oz) 70-85℃ (158-185°F) water for 1 minute.
