JAPAN GYOKURO ASAHI
「玉露」と訳される、日本でも珍しいお茶です。収穫の約2週間前、茶の木は竹の簾で覆われます。「覆い下茶」はタンニンが少なく、カフェインが明らかに多く含まれ、葉は非常に濃い緑色で、ほんのりと光沢があります。
I日本では、玉露は特に名誉あるお客様に振る舞われます。上品で繊細、それでいて力強い風味に、ほのかな甘みを感じます。
原材料: 緑茶*。
内容量: 60 g.

I brewed this at 50°C for two minutes and the liquor came out a deep, cloudy green with an almost buttery texture on the tongue. That bamboo mat shading really does something to the tannins, since there’s barely any bitterness even after a second steep.
The umami depth here is remarkable, way deeper than any sencha I've tried—the shading clearly does something special. Brewed it at a cooler temperature and got this sweet, almost brothy finish that lasted through three infusions. A bit pricey for 60 grams, but for that "jewel dew" quality, it's wort
The bamboo mat shading really comes through in the cup—this gyokuro pours a deep, jewel-green brew with a sweet, almost brothy umami that’s nothing like regular sencha. I’ve been brewing it at 50°C for two minutes and the softness is incredible.
