Another one from my overly large Yunomi sample order.
I did one steep at probably 130-140F water for 2m. This cup was intense with umami and a bit of bitterness, with vegetal spinach and sweet beany notes. Quite a powerful cup.
Next steep was 185F for 15s. Much gentler now, but still possessing some umami and appreciable depth. Sweet grassy notes dominate the flavor now.
185F, 20s – Less depth but still some nice sweetness
185F, 30s – Again, just a little bit weaker.
This was a good gyokuro tea. I’m not sure if I ordered this one – it might have been one that Yunomi included as a free sample. Either way, it’s one I could see picking up a larger bag of if I’m feeling like gyokuro.
