Tea Review: Gyokushin Mecha Kousui (Yunomi/Shogyokuen Tea Factory)

Gyokushin Mecha Kousui/玉真(芽茶) 光翠 
Shogyokuen Tea Factory/Yunomi
Type: Green
Origin: Japan, Kyoto Prefecture, Kyotanabe
Product Description: Gyokuro Green Tea Leaf Tips

Temperature: 140° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 1 minute

The dry leaves have a nutty and marine green aroma.

The pale jade green infusion has savory, nutty, and edamame notes in aroma and flavor. 

For the purpose of this review, I used 140° F water with excellent results.  I also prepared this more casually with water closer to 176° F for a much shorter steeping time which also tasted delicious.

This tea was purchased by me.
