Recommended water temperature for Gyokuro is 122°F (50°C)-140°F (60°C). Try different brew times and temperatures to find your preference.

4 | Steep for 1.5-3 minutes. All of our teas can be steeped up to 3 times.

Cooler water, slower steeping, and a quiet moment to let the flavors unfold. The result? A cup that’s smooth, naturally sweet, and deeply satisfying, perfect for quiet reflection or sharing with someone who appreciates the finest Japanese teas.
