gyokuro tea
|
Gyokuro tea is considered by many to be the finest of the Japanese green
teas. It is famous for the special shading process used during the last
few weeks before harvest. The tea bushes are shaded to increase the
chlorophyll and decrease the tannins. The result of this is evident in
every cup.
Although the price of this premium tea may seem high, a 4 ounce bag will produce
approximately 50 cups. That makes a cup of one of the world's best teas
less expensive than a cup of coffee at your local take out restaurant.
For best results, allow tea leaves to circulate freely while steeping. You
can use an infuser basket or just add the loose tea to the teapot and strain
while serving.
Teas are best when used within one year of purchase. To protect teas from
the damaging effects of air and light, tea should be stored in opaque, airtight
containers. We use resealable foil bags that keep your tea fresh and
delicious.
