Okumidori - Gyokuro

This award-winning Gyokuro, made from the Okumidori cultivar, is shade-grown for about three weeks before harvest to develop its signature deep umami and elegant sweetness. Rich and savory — almost like sipping warm dashi — it offers a smooth, concentrated flavor with a gentle, lingering finish. The result is a deeply soothing tea, perfect for quiet, reflective moments. 

Hand-picked and hand-rolled by tea master Noboru Endou, each leaf reflects the care and tradition of Shizuoka’s finest craftsmanship. 

Take your time — pour slowly and savor each condensed drop.

Preparation

1) Put 1 tea spoon (about 8g) of tea in a teapot.

2) Pour 50 degrees (50-100ml) warm water into the teapot and let steep for 90 seconds.

Pour the tea little by little while alternating between cups so that the tea is equally distributed and its density is equal in each cup.
