Unveiling the Secrets of Gyokuro: The Ultimate Green Tea for Connoisseurs

At Mukoh Matcha, we are proud to present Gyokuro, often revered as the ultimate in refined green teas. Cultivated with meticulous care and deep respect for tradition, Gyokuro offers a sensory journey into the depths of Japanese tea culture. For those with a discerning palate, this tea provides not just a drink, but an indulgent experience.

The Art of Gyokuro

Gyokuro, which translates to ‘jewel dew,’ is distinguished by its unique cultivation method. Shielded from the sun for the final weeks before harvest, the tea leaves intensify in both flavor and nutrients, resulting in a tea that is both vibrantly green and full of depth. This shading technique enhances the sweetness and creates a smoother, less astringent brew.

Health Benefits That Impress

Rich in antioxidants, Gyokuro offers numerous health benefits, from boosting mental alertness and metabolism to providing a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Its high concentration of theanine promotes relaxation and well-being, making it a perfect choice for a soothing afternoon ritual.

Brewing the Perfect Cup of Gyokuro

To enjoy Gyokuro to its fullest:

• Temperature Control: Heat water to about 50-60°C (122-140°F). The lower temperature extracts the sweet and umami flavors without bitterness.
• Steeping Technique: Allow the tea to steep for 2-3 minutes. A longer steep draws out the complex layers of flavor that Gyokuro is celebrated for.
• Leaf Quantity: Use a generous amount of tea leaves, about one teaspoon per cup, to fully experience its richness.

Culinary Pairings

Gyokuro pairs beautifully with fine Japanese cuisine. Its delicate flavor complements sushi and sashimi, enhancing the taste of the sea. For dessert, try it with a light cake or sweet wagashi to elevate the tea’s natural sweetness.
