Product Description

Storage

Unlike regular Sencha, this exceptional Gyokuro tea is created from first harvest tea leaves that have been shaded for ~20 days.

Saemidori cultivar is a cross between Yabukita and Asatsuyu cultivars; it has inherited the the balance of Yabukita, and the delicateness and color of Asatsuyu. This Gyokuro is truly a unique Japanese green tea that is smoother and more flavorful than ordinary, without sacrificing the body or brothiness of the liquor.

The differences between loose leaf tea and traditional tea bags are numerous, extending far beyond the surface. The leaves used in most tea bags are typically the "dust and fannings" from broken tea leaves, which compromises the quality compared to full leaf tea. Tea bags release more tannins than whole leaf tea, resulting in bitter, astringent brews.

The shape and size of the bags themselves are also important factors, as most tea bags constrain the tea leaves, preventing them from expanding to their full flavor and aroma potential. Additionally, the bags might be made from materials that can influence the flavor or release compounds when exposed to hot water.
