When the owner first presented me the tin of gyokuro my expectations were low. Gyokuro, like many Japanese greens, only stays fresh for so long. But as soon as she opened the lid my expectations were blown away. The leaf is a beautiful glossy, darkgreen, and needle-like. The aroma is pleasant with slightly sweet notes, sweet grass, and stone fruit. I’m doing this first round in my new Shiboridashi. This tea pot is a thing of art in both appearance and use. Fresh-cut grass steams from the bottom dish as it brews. The liquor is soft in mouth feel. Bits of fresh cut grass, ripe melons, and hay. I will come back and explore this one more later.
