Natural Black Gyokuro 50g

With an exquisite floral palate, this black tea from Obubu Tea Farms is made from the highest grade of shaded tea leaves. The producer is always experimenting with new techniques, resulting in wonderful teas unlike any others. It combines the umami rich tea leaves usually used for green Gyokuro tea, with the oxidation process of black tea, resulting in an entirely unique tea: Black Gyokuro. 

Shaded from the sun for three weeks before its spring harvest, the raw material is the highest quality before undergoing black tea processing. This Black Gyokuro also provides a unique opportunity to taste a tea which is new to the world. 

Exactly how to brew this new tea type remains an open question. You can brew it at 90 degrees and get the full-bodied quality of black tea or you can brew it like a Sencha at 75 degrees combining the fruity black tea notes with the umami of Gyokuro. Experiment, and enjoy!
