From O-Cha.com

A first rate, first harvest, light to medium steamed green tea. Grown in Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture Japan.The curled, comma leaf shape of Tamaryokucha (also known as "guricha") is also somewhat uniquie and when brewed it has a beautiful clear yellow-green color to it. We seldom come across green tea with an ultra rich umami taste on this level, the umami is so strong there is a noticeable lingering aftertaste. Harvested from the first round of young spring leaves.

Now that I’ve spent some time with my O-Cha order and got the brewing parameters for this one down, I thought it was worth a review. I bought this as shincha, so it might be a little different from later experiences, but I have been drinking it for a while. The parameters I settled on were: 82C, 45s/30s/1m30s steeps (it only lasts three, really), 7g leaf:112g water, brewed in the 140ml tokoname kyusu I bought from Zenhodo. As noted in the product description, the umami in this tea is wonderfully intense on the first steeping. When I increased the temperature from the recommended 79C, it was accompanied by a bright, almost citrus-like sweetness. Later infusions have a more vegetal, marine flavor, but are still very pleasant. Highly recommended.
