Gyokuro tea leaves Yame Hoshino UZUKI

A must try Japanese green tea. First time having Gyokuro so I have nothing to compare this to. Initial brew following the instructions, I am transcended to the world of umami and understood it better than its presence in some matcha, it’s like drinking a broth with nori. I had fukamushi before but this tea is way more savory, has low astringency and almost no bitterness. Amazing to enjoy on special occasion but can easily become a staple.

I adore this gyokuro!
