FAQs
What does Gyokuro taste like?
It has a delicate, savoury character with a slightly sweet, vegetal aroma, a result of weeks of shade-growing before harvest.
Why is it served cooler than other green teas?
Cooler water protects the delicate flavour that shade-growing develops, so it is worth letting the water sit a little after boiling.
