Gyokuro Gyokuheki

This gyokuro is more on the toasty side with roasted walnut notes in the center. The rich umami lingers in the aftertaste, adding a savory depth. With each subsequent brew, the tea becomes increasingly vegetal with fresh and green character.

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


Gyokuro - Sencha Gift Set
The set includes:
● a 140 g CAN Gyokuro Gyokuheki
● a 140 g CAN Sencha Kisen: a medium-bodied, verdant green tea with a pleasant umami and an overall clean flavor and a fruity aftertaste.

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


HOW TO PREPARE

Gyokuro Gyokuheki
The tea goes three delicious 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 much bitterness.

Sencha Kisen
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 5g 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.


Please note, that Sazen Tea does not keep this product in stock. We get all Kanbayashi Shunsho loose teas fresh from the factory only after an order is placed for it on our website, and this process can take a few days. Thank you for your patience!
