Sugimoto Tea
Type: Green
Origin: Japan, Shizuoka Prefecture
Product Description: Gyokuro is a shaded green tea and considered one of the finest green teas in Japan. Infusion produces a light green color and a deep, complex flavor. Gyokuro has a unique sweetness since shade allows the tea to retain a high Theanine content.
Temperature: 140° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 1 minute
The dry leaf aroma is sweet and nutty.
The light green infusion has a rich and nutty aroma similar to almond butter with a smooth, sweet, and slightly nutty taste.
While I enjoyed the results from 1 minute steepings, this gyokuro would do well with slightly longer (1.5 to 2 minute) first and third steepings. The second steeping was bolder and more green in taste, without astringency.
