Organic Kukicha Gyokuro

DKK 160.00

In the cup: A smooth, subtly sweet tea with very low astringency and a rich umami flavor—perfect for a refreshing morning brew.

A premium Gyokuro Kukicha (Karigane Grade A) produced by Mr. Sakamoto in Kagoshima. It is harvested in early and mid-May and is made from a blend of the cultivars Yabukita and Okumidori. Shaded for up to 20 days before harvest which gives it its rich, umami depth.

This tea can be brewed at low temperatures for a sweet, umami-rich infusion, but it also shines when brewed at higher temperatures, bringing out a different depth of flavor and a bit more astringency.

Quantity:

Stem tea is best brewed in a small, preheated teapot and with full attention.

You can brew several times on the same leaves, adjusting the water temperature and brewing time.

Below a suggestion for two brewing methods for this tea, but please experiment and find your own favorite cup.
