Gyokuro Izumi

Gyokuro Izumi

Shading the tea plants shortly (21 days) before harvest greatly reduces the formation of bitter substances and increases amino acids, which provide a slightly sweet taste in the foreground, so that the tea develops a mild and fruity aroma.

Gyokuro is brewed with a larger amount of leaves and a reduced water temperature.

Tasting Notes: A pleasant harmony between sweetness and light bitterness.
