Preparation

Green Tea Gyokuro Yame is brewed in a small preheated pot and enjoyed in small teacups. Gyokuro should preferably be brewed with high-quality lime-free water.

Use 8-10 grams of tea for 200-220 ml of water. Water temperature: 60-65 degrees. First brew: 90 seconds. Second brew: 5-10 seconds. Third brew: approx. 90 seconds.

Tip

If you only brew one cup / glass at a time, you can use a strainer where the leaves can float freely and thereby release it nice aroma. By using a strainer, you can also brew on the leaves again.

By small jug is possibly meant Japanese Kyusu teapot with internal strainer. The advantage of the small jug is that you brew 1-2 cups at a time, after which you add more tempered water when you are ready for the next cup. In this way, you utilize the potential of the leaves by brewing several times, and you get the experience of a fresh cup of tea.

Store dry and cool.
