## Description

Premium Organic Japanese Gyokuro Loose Leaf Green Tea Gyokuro tea is a premium Japanese green tea containing high amounts of umami. Shaded from the sun for 20 days to increase the levels of chlorophyl and the amino acid L-theanine, cool temperatures in the mountain areas slows leaf growth and concentrates aroma in the leaf. The Gyokuro green tea plants are grown without chemical fertilizers, and leaves are picked when they are young for a smooth, rich and aromatic organic green tea. Brew the perfect cup of Gyokuro green tea Temperature, amount of leaf, type of water and steep time are important factors you need to get right to make the perfect cup of hot Gyokuro Japanese green tea. We recommend: Tea: 6g (0.2 oz.), Water: 1 cup (200ml), Temperature: (40 - 60C), Steep Time: 120 - 180 seconds. Ocha & Co. Organic Green Tea Our JAS organic tea plantations are found in a hillside region of Japan blessed with clear water, the perfect temperatures, ample natural shade, and mineral-rich soil. Our Japanese teas are prepared in small batches by the Japanese Tea Association’s top certified tea instructor and the winner of Japan’s 56th National Tea Tasting competition.

Review: So I admit, this is my first Gyokuro. I drink a ton of green teas and matcha. I always try to get higher end brands. I used to drink a lot of store bought teas, which could be $3 a bottle (and also loaded with sugar usually, which I don't want. But, unsweetened bottled tea tastes horrible). Since I am saving money not buying bottled, I figured I mine as well get high quality teas to make myself. There was some Gyokuro that was double this price. But, this brand has great reviews, is organic, and the price was acceptable to me. So, overall, this tea compared to 'normal' green tea, has a much better flavor to me. Almost no bitterness, nice earthy flavor, with a good mouth feel. Gives me a nice boost throughout morning and afternoon as well. I brew the leaves two times (usually for 2 cups in the morning). You may be able to brew even more than twice, but, because part of the reason I drink this is for the caffeine, I want to make sure I am getting the most of that I can. I can see this becoming one of my favorites for daily drinking. The vacuum sealed bag I got is dated for a year past when I received it. Came in fresh. Inside the bag is all perfectly rolled tea leaves. No overly dry 'dusty' pieces. Very good quality. The smell is amazing! If you want to setup up your green tea game, this Gyokuro may be great for you!
Review: Schmeckt unnormal lecker. Erinnert voll an Edamame.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***M on 26 September 2023*

I've enjoyed tea and coffee my whole life. I drift back and forth for seasons between them. Recently, I've been on a new tea kick: rediscovering some, giving some a second try, and trying some for the first time. I'm new to reviewing teas, but I know what I like and do not. If you like the earthiness of green tea, this is an exceptional drink. It sounds like it would be bold, but it remains delicate with a fresh floral grass flavor. It's very approachable to borrow wine lingo. The color is brilliant, and the steeped tea reveals the fresh nature of this product. I've heard that better Gyokuro teas are available at higher prices, but this is a sublime tea for me, and I'm not sure I'd know the difference (yet, anyway). The tea was in a nice tight, vacuum-sealed foil bag with a beautiful aroma out of the gate. The expiration is clearly printed on the package, and I have almost 12 months to open and enjoy it, but I'm sure the tea will be gone long before then. This tea seems the very definition of umami. Well done. If I'm formulating a Top 10 of Teas, this is in it.
