Traditional shading
Our Gyokuro is shaded with straw mats - a very elaborate method that is rarely used anymore. The shading is further increased over the course of the days by placing more and more straw on the roof. This ensures very natural shading and slight fluctuations in the shading of the individual tea leaves. Only very high-quality Gyokuros are produced in this way.

1 teaspoon per 100ml / 55 degrees / 100 seconds
You should use soft water with a maximum temperature of 60°C, especially for Gyokuro. Otherwise the delicate aromatic taste and sweetness will be lost.The loose tea is brewed in a pot with a strainer. Alternatively, you can use disposable tea bags that can be filled. It is a very sweet, strong, aromatic and full-bodied green tea and tastes good to both beginners and green tea connoisseurs. Our tutorial video below shows you how to prepare it easily.
More infusions
Gyokuro green tea is particularly suitable for several infusions. At least 4-5 are possible. A brewing time of 10-20 seconds is sufficient. Not only does the tea last longer, but more and more healthy substances are released from the tea. Of course, you can also try out different temperatures and infusion times to find out what you like best.
Coldinfusion
Like our Senchas, Gyokuro is also particularly suitable for cold brewing: simply pour cold water over the same amount of Kabusecha and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes. Your delicious refreshment is ready. Our tutorial video below shows you this simple and super refreshing preparation method.
Storage
The Gyokuro comes in a sealed and resealable flavor bag. This makes it super easy to remove and the tea stays fresh for a long time.
