(Limited stock) #0138.K6 Yamane-en: Gyokuro Konacha 玉露粉茶

A great way to experience the delicious umami flavor of gyokuro without spending so much money is by using the fannings filtered out during refinement. It steeps very quickly and resteeps are not very strong, but that first cup is still ambrosia! Steeping Recommendation 2-3 grams of tea, 3 min, 50C/122F, 50 ml of water for an espresso of umami. Resteep at hotter temperature to enjoy as a sencha (200 ml, 10-20 sec) Product Info Name: Gyokuro Konacha Ingredients: Green tea Harvest: Spring Region: Uji, Kyoto Vendor Info Name: Yamane-en Tea Shop Location: 3-34-1 Sugamo, Toshima-ku, Tokyo, JAPAN Established: About 60 years ago.
