## Overview

Senbird Premium Gyokuro is a rare, shade-grown Japanese green tea from Kyoto, cultivated for 21 days to develop a naturally sweet, umami-rich flavor. This high-caffeine loose leaf tea is non-GMO, pesticide-free, and rigorously tested for purity. Packaged in an eco-friendly airtight recycled tin, it offers a smooth, low-astringency brew perfect for mindful mornings or relaxing afternoons.

## Description

Grown in Kyoto, Japan, Gyokuro premium Japanese green tea is a high-grade sencha prepared from the tips of tea leaves shaded from sunlight two weeks before harvest. This shade-grown Gyokuro green tea is of the Asatsuyu cultivar, known as "natural Gyokuro,” that is rare even in Japan. The unique harvesting process of this loose-leaf tea produces a jade colored tea, rich in natural caffeine. This green tea is sweeter, smooth, and less astringent with a mild and sweet umami taste.

Review: The aroma right out of the bag is rich and inviting. Once brewed, the tea delivers a gentle sweetness that lingers on the palate, and I appreciate how low the astringency is; even on subsequent steeps it stays smooth and easy-going without the sharp bite you can get from some other greens. Flavor-wise it leans into that refined umami you expect from Gyokuro, but it’s balanced by the natural sweetness and silky mouthfeel which makes every cup enjoyable. The cost-to-quality ratio is decent: while not the most premium Gyokuro out there, for daily sipping or sharing it holds its own. If you love aromatic, sweet, low-astringency Japanese greens, this is a tea worth trying.
Review: This tea is lovely. It's smooth and refreshing and not too powerful tasting. No lie, I felt calm and relaxed after my first cup. Natural and so healthy. It's worth it!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many teaspoon (tsp) is needed to brew a cup of tea and How much caffeine is there per cup of tea?**
A: Recommended is approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons for every 8 oz of water but we encourage to experiment with the tea-to-water ratio to match your preference. Gyokuro has approx 140mg caffeine/g, more extracted with higher temp and longer steeping.

**Q: How many times can this tea be re-steeped and How many servings or cup of tea can this whole tea tin (50g) make?**
A: You can re-steep it up to 3 times depending on your taste preference. Slightly increase the water temperature with each successive steeping for best results. Get about 30 cups from one tea tin, potentially more since it can be resteeped.

**Q: Is there an expiration or manufacture date on the product, and is this tea tested for safety?**
A: Yes. The best-before date is on the kraft paper pouch or at the bottom of the tin. Our teas are also tested for mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, and radiation to ensure quality.

**Q: What is the difference between the 3 'colors' and does it include the stems?**
A: Differ in aroma-depth-flavor. Isshin: Fresh-mellow- umami notes, delicate finish for everyday. Kotobuki: Sweet-rich umami-lingering sweetness for refined enthusiasts. Mikado: Fragrant-sweet taste-smooth umami, buttery finish for special occasions.

**Q: How should I store this tea to maintain its best quality?**
A: Store your tea in its airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. We do not recommend refrigeration as temperature changes can introduce moisture and affect the tea’s natural aroma and flavor.
