To fully draw out the tea's body and rich umami taste using less water at a cooler temperature. 1. Place 10 g (2 heaping tbsp.) in teapot. 2. Add 80 ml (3oz) of hot water (at about 60C) 3. Brew for about 1 min. 30 sec. 4. Pour out every last drop. Being a shade-cultivated tea, gyokuro is rich in theanine-an amino acid responsible for gyokuro's full-bodied mellow sweetness and slightly viscous nature. In Japan, there is a special name for this taste: umami. Generally, the higher the grade, the richer the umami taste. While many teas are served hot and consumed as a means to quench a thirst, gyokuro is different. A typical serving is a precious 1/3 of a teacup at a very comfortable 60 C. Indeed, gyokuro's refined luxurious taste is meant to be savored, not rushed. For those who prefer their gyokuro slightly more astringent and served at a higher temperature, Hekiun is a good choice, as it can be brewed with water in the 60 C to 80 C range. If you like the basic character of Hekiun, but prefer a tea that is slightly richer in umami, then we recommend that you try Mantoku. As a gift for someone special or for yourself, we have packaged our Mantoku in this attractive can with our trademark orange Ippodo label. This medium-sized can is perfect for tea enthusiasts who enjoy their tea a few times a day. Encased in a gift box and special Ippodo wrapping paper.
