With mild umami and a medium-short finish, Kakurei is an easy-to-drink gyokuro, good for during or after a meal, and throughout the day.
TASTE NOTES
Kakurei brews a cup with medium-light aftertaste and body, with gyokuro’s typical flavor and aroma. We recommend this tea to those who prefer a lighter amount of umami, and as a tea to drink throughout the day. In addition to the standard gyokuro brew with 140°F water, you can try brewing Kakurei with hotter water for 30 seconds, producing a more refreshing, aromatic character.
Ippodo tea indicates that Gyokuro should be steeped for 90 seconds at 140 F (60 F). Suggested ration of tea to water is 2 Tbsp (yes, Tbsp!) to 3 ounces (80ml) of water. To cool water to the proper temperature, Ippodo suggests transferring the water three times by first pouring into a cup, transferring that to a second, then third cup, then the tea pot.
