At a Glance

Isshin translates to ‘a moment of connection’, which is inspired by the bond you share when having tea with others. Even in Japan, this variety of green tea is considered rare. Gyokuro green tea is grown in the shade for 20 days before harvest. This process produces a sweeter and less astringent tea with plenty of health benefits. Shade-grown green tea is especially high in natural caffeine, which may cause white amino acid crystallization to form. In addition, Asatsuyu Gyokuro is known for its mellow, sweet taste and floral aroma, with a hint of astringency.

氷出汁

ice brew - Kooridashi Gyokuro

1 | Put the tea leaves in a kyusu or teapot (with a capacity of 500-700ml) without a tea strainer and spread thinly for easy extraction. 

*Using a tea strainer is not recommended, as the extracted tea may get lukewarm over time at room temperature. If you would like to use a tea strainer, we would encourage you to leave the ice to melt in the fridge overnight.

2 | Put the ice directly on top of the tea leaves. We recommend using ice made from filtered water or mineral water for a more delicious flavor.

3 | Leave the teapot at room temperature for 4 to 5 hours or leave it in the fridge overnight. After the ice melts, shake it gently to even out the tea extract. Pour into the cup(s). Enjoy the beautiful green color and wonderful umami flavor!
