Jade Gyokuro Organic
Despite the Gyokuro in its name, this organic green tea is described in our product notes as coming from Enshi in Hubei, China. The leaf is steam processed and brews a fuller Chinese green-tea cup.
Our tasting notes describe a silky, slightly buttery texture and a rounded vegetal flavor. Use the cooler green-tea water below and a short first steep, then try a second infusion for a lighter cup.
