Gyokuro

The superlative experience in Japanese green tea

The noblest, the most refined and the most precious of Japanese teas.
This tea is made up of young leaves picked in the renowned gardens of Okabe. A delicious serenity and melting gentleness are released in the mouth.

How to prepare Gyokuro?

• Pour boiling water into moderately sized cups and let it cool to 60° C (140° F).
• Put the Gyokuro tea in the teapot. For three cups, two tablespoons are enough (about 10 g or 1/3 oz).
• Pour the cooled 60° water into the teapot and let it steep for two minutes.
• Serve the tea in the pre-warmed cups over several pourings in such a way that the strength of the tea will be equal for each cup. Empty all the liquid from the teapot.
  For the second infusion, use hotter water and let it steep for thirty-seconds.
