From Yuuki-Cha: A first harvest organic gyokuro tea from a small organic tea garden in Uji. It is made exclusively from the tea bush varietal known as Gokou. Rich and sweet flavored tea! 2009 First Harvest, light steamed.
I used 2 minute brewing method in a pre-heated houhin with the following parameter: 6 gram/2oz at 122ºF. The first infusion was robust, intense, buttery and very delicious, slightly bitter at the background. The liquor color was shinny, reminded me of olive oil consistency and beautiful green. The second infusion was for less robust, but still intense, buttery, sweet and bold. The later infusions developed spinach and less bold flavor but still delicious.
My favorite gyo cup - just amazingly beautiful!
