Our top-grade Gyokuro Karigane Green Tea is organically grown and hand harvested on a 3rd generation tea farm in the prefecture of Kagoshima on the Kyushu Island of Japan. Gyokuro tea is shade grown to increase the umami rich flavor in the leaves. Karigane (leaf & stem) tea offers blissful, natural sweetness. Gyokuro is a premium Japanese green tea, prized by connoisseurs for its delicate flavor and high-quality. Ingredients: Organic Shade Grown Gyokuro Green Tea Preparation Instructions: Add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of Gyokuro tea leaves to the teapot (with a strainer) for every 2 ounces of water. The high leaf-to-water ratio is key to achieving the full flavor. Heat your water to around 120–140°F (50–60°C). Avoid boiling water as it can make the tea taste bitter. Pour the hot water into the teapot over the leaves. Allow it to steep for 30 to 60 seconds. Gyokuro is delicate, so don’t steep for too long.  Serve and Enjoy! Once steeped, pour the tea into your cups, evenly div
