Rezensionen zu: Japanischer BIO-Gyokuro (125g)

Excellent tea, fair price. Especially for being organic, in my opinion the price is very appropriate. And if I am going to drink multiple cups a day and afterwards maybe even mix the leaves into a rice dish, I want to make sure they are organically grown.

I\'m not sure I can properly describe the taste of the tea, however it is the finest, most gentle taste I have ever experienced with any green tea I\'ve had so far (and I\'ve had a lot of them, some more expensive than this one). Umami, grassy, adstringent taste - it\'s all there and what comes out most strongly will depend on your method of preparation. Also, the tea is easily good for multiple steepings.

Personally, I just boil water and add room temperature water until I can hold my finger in it for a few seconds before it begins to hurt. That\'s usually the right temperature to bring out the umami and tender, grassy aromas while avoiding the bitterness so typical for green tea, while still receiving a hot cup. If I steep in hotter water, the tea becomes bitter, colder water, the taste is good but the tea is cold! Wash out your cup in hot water before steeping, too. The steeping time will depend on personal tastes and how many times the tea will be steeped afterwards.

This is a great tea to drink and experiment with to bring out its taste in the best way possible. Absolutely recommended!
