The Gyokuro Brewing Process

First Infusion (50-60°C)
The tea’s sweetness and deep umami come to life, creating a smooth and luxurious first sip. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Second Infusion (65-70°C)
The flavours deepen, introducing gentle vegetal notes with subtle savouriness. Steep for 1 minute.
-
Third Infusion (75-80°C)
The final steep reveals a richer, slightly astringent character, finishing with a lasting, satisfying aftertaste. Steep for 30 to 45 seconds.
