In this video, I break down:
🍃 What makes great Gyokuro truly great
🍃 How shading techniques intensify umami
🍃 What I personally look for when selecting Gyokuro
🍃 How to taste Gyokuro properly (to maximise the umami bomb)
🍃 Why Gyokuro is one of the most shocking teas in the world
🍃 How to recognise top-grade Asahina Gyokuro from average ones
We’re talking thick, brothy umami, velvety liquor, explosive sweetness, and that lingering savoury glow that makes Gyokuro so legendary among tea lovers.
If you’re into Japanese tea, matcha, healthy drinks, tea tasting, gong fu brewing, umami-rich teas, or you want to understand why Gyokuro is considered the king of Japanese green tea, this video is for you.
Whether you’re a seasoned Gyokuro drinker or a newcomer looking for the real experience — this tea session is going to surprise you.
