This OG GYOKURO OKUMIDORI from Tenryu, Haruno in Shizuoka, Japan, is shade-grown for 20-25 days, giving it a taste of intense freshness, grassiness, and umami. Roasted lightly to a level 5, its bright crystal shade includes a faint greenish hue, and its high caffeine level ensures a long-lasting energy experience. This special blend was crafted with an Isagawa flavor in mind. Instruction: For 1 serving(1) Amount of tea leaves: 1.5 tsp (6g) (0.21oz)(2) Add 100ml (3.38oz) hot water 50℃ (122℉)(3) Steeping time: 140 seconds (2min 20sec) Characteristics The Okumidori is a natural hybrid of Yabukita and Shizauoka Zairai 16, offering a balanced taste profile with notable umami and cool notes, perfect for production of Gyokuro and Matcha teas. Covered for three weeks prior to harvest, this variety produces a pronounced umami flavor. Special Notes The tea leaves boast a heavy consistency, with a dark green shade exuding an unmistakable Okumidori character. The initial sip carries the intense freshness from the first tea leaves, complemented by a touch of herby grassiness and umami. The gentle throat-feel is more reminiscent of green tea than gyokuro, leaving a lingering rich umami in the mouth for a truly sublime experience. The story behind of production Gyokuro is selectively covered for approximately three weeks prior to harvest to slowly maximize its umami content. Final Roasting Master SAKUYA's Comments This OG Gyoruro Okumidori should be clear with a bright crystal shade, including a faint greenish hue. Its flavor is designed to bring forth an UMAMI experience on the tongue while allowing its fragrance to be experienced through the nose.
