Made from the stems and veins of premium Gyokuro tea leaves, Gyokuro Karigane Superior has a unique and delicately sweet flavor.
Karigane stems are rich in Teanin, the constituent found in Gyokuro and Matcha grown in defused sunlight 20 to 30 days before the harvest. Teanin provides an element of sweetness and flavor to the tea.
Gyokuro Karigane Superior is an excellent value. Because it is made from the stems and veins of the highest-quality Gyokuro, such as Gyokuro Premium, you can have the quality of Premium for a fraction of the cost. The stems and veins have a unique sweet taste and aroma.
We receive a lot of inquiries about Gyokuro Karigane, because it is difficult to find — even in Japan! Karigane lovers are usually repeat customers – once they try Karigane they want to drink it all the time because it has such a great flavor and is an excellent value.
If you enjoy Gyokuro, you should try Gyokuro Karigane Superior.

I love this tea. Been looking for a low caffeine option and this is the answer.
Brewed according to vendor instructions, guessing a bit since I had no scale/thermometer.
Flavors/aromas, in progressive order across the 3 infusions:
asparagus
chicken soup (umami)
freshly sliced delicate cucumber
subtle, almost but not exactly floral-fruity tangy aroma that is unique to this tea and very pleasant.
This tea is fresh and sweet. The best infusion was perhaps the second, though the first had the most concentrated mineral-umami flavor.
Enjoyable fresh clear feeling with no caffeine jolt, racing thoughts, restlessness, or other side effects that may result from drinking puer and oolongs especially with 7+ cups in a gong fu session.
Flavors: Cucumber, Tangy, Umami
