Tea enthusiasts around the world are constantly seeking new ways to savor the complexity and nuances of their favorite brews. While traditionally enjoyed hot, certain teas have been discovered to unveil a whole new character when prepared and consumed cold. One such treasure in the realm of cold-brewed teas is the Iced Gyokuro.

What is Gyokuro?

Gyokuro, often referred to as the "jewel dew," is a prized shade-grown Japanese green tea known for its luxurious flavor profile and meticulous cultivation process. The tea leaves are shaded from direct sunlight for a few weeks before harvest, a practice that enhances the development of chlorophyll and amino acids while reducing bitterness. This labor-intensive method results in a tea with a vibrant green color, rich umami notes, and a lingering sweetness.

Iced Gyokuro: A Refreshing Twist:

While Gyokuro is traditionally enjoyed as a warm beverage, the art of cold brewing brings forth an entirely new dimension to its taste profile. Iced Gyokuro takes the splendid elements of this tea and presents them in a cool, revitalizing manner.

Iced Gyokuro Green Tea

Here's how you can create your own glass of Iced Gyokuro:

  • Quality Leaves: Begin with premium Gyokuro leaves known for their unique flavor derived from the shading process.
  • Measure and Brew: 4gr of Gyokuro Teas leaves per serving and fill the cup with ice cubes. 
  • Experiment with Time: Allow the Gyokuro Tea leaves to be infused as the ice slowly dissolves.
  • Savor Elegance: Strain leaves and pour the vibrant liquid on a nice glass. Admire the green hue, inhale the aroma, and relish the refreshing symphony of flavors.

Iced Gyokuro isn't just cold tea; it's a unique sensory journey. The clink of ice, the cool touch on your lips—your senses awaken. Umami notes persist, now joined by a refreshing coolness that adds to its invigorating qualities.

In the world of tea, Iced Gyokuro showcases the versatility of this age-old elixir. It's a reminder that traditions can evolve, offering new experiences that deepen our connection with tea. Seeking a cooling escape? Try the refreshing taste of Iced Gyokuro.
