Green tea Gyokuro 100% Organic Organic Japan - 100g

Green tea Gyokuro - Plar and pointed needles leaves

Shadow tea, the most refined Japanese to be consumed on great occasions. Before the collection, one time a year, the bushes are covered to protect them from the sun. In this way the leaves, enriched with chlorophyll, are of a beautiful emerald green. The straw -colored infusion has the umami flavor, identified as fifth taste in Japan. From the powdered leaves you get the famous match, the ceremony tea. 

INFUSION: 1-2 minutes at 70º

Dosage: 1 teaspoon in 200ml of water

Recommended use: pure

N.B. The infusion temperature must not exceed 60º. For the first infusion it takes 2-3 minutes, for the following only 30 seconds. As the temperature of the added water must increase until it reaches 90º for the fourth or fifth infusion

There are different varieties of green tea and each has its own optimal temperature parameters, quantity, infusion time, but the advice is always not to use too hot water, so as not to run the risk of deteriorating the active ingredients. 

Green tea is the tea that requires the shortest infusion time, for this reason the 2-3 minutes should not be exceeded: exceeding the indicated time the drink will result from the too bitter flavor.
