How to brew gyokuro (Japanese green tea) - d:matcha Tea School

[@DemonTom]

Ever since discovering Gyokuro, my life has been forever changed. Sipping on it brings me into a blissful, meditative state. The Umami flavor is amazing. I am grateful to Japan for sharing this gift with the world.

[@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, the Gyokuro means " a drop of treasure" in Japanese. So densed and tasty.

Here from Rachel and Juns channel! I really hope I can visit and learn how to cultivate tea with you someday.

[@sirenamber]

The shading technique to preserve flavour is so interesting!!

This looks very interesting and delicious! Ive always been captivated by tea and would love to one day know and help with the process! In my country we don’t produce tea (and it’s hard to find non-tea bag ones) but coffee, which is also a lovely process and product! Once I graduate, I hope I gain enough Japanese fluency and resources to look for an internship here. Hopefully this can come true, but meanwhile I wish you a great day!

[@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool]

I found out about your company thanks to Jun and Rachel's channel, and was very touched by your story. Ordered several teas, can't wait to get them shipped here all the way to Slovakia! I wish you the best of luck!

[@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool]

Thank you for your order:) Hope you can receive it soon.

[@valarya]

I just received my first package of d:matcha okumidori all the way here in Tennessee and i cannot wait to try it! I really appreciated the little newsletter included in the shipment, too. :)

[@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool]

Thank you for ordering our tea. We hope you will enjoy a lot:)

[@curaloucura]

Thank you for explaining it in so much detailed.

[@KuruGDI]

Do you just wait for the ice cubes to be melted in the tea pot or is there already water inside?

[@thorinmesser]

Thank you for this great video! I really admire your shiboridashi, would you mind saying where you bought it?

[@ikelah]

Great!!! Thank you

[@coolakin]

This is very helpful! Can you do a video on how to make a cold brew with sencha green tea?

[@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool]

Thank you for your message. Yes, will do soon:)

[@maximlianmaier5964]

Could you tell me how much time and which temperature is needed for the second and third cup? Thank you very much!

[@agunglang6787]

Rachel & Jun brought me here

[@Jiarong0019]

Same!

[@emijunkai]

Same!

[@emijunkai]

And I just love tea.

[@faiim1254]

I wonder what’s the book name that you show us about the period of caffeine?

[@Goramann]

What kind of shiboridashi is this and where can i get it?

[@petko9133]

Hi! how much such cups green tea is drinking traditionally in Japan in a day? Thank you!

[@konradvonmarburg7733]

What is that board he is using? What is it called?

[@rosspadden4201]

I think the best steep of gyokuro I've had was when I used room temp water, and let it sit for a bit. It was beautiful. It took on a jelly-like consistency n the cup, and the umami was exquisite. A marine element was very strong, but not overpowering. Try it people.

[@kierand9410]

Does this method unlock the caffeine though?

[@НатальяСклярова-ф2б]

Hello, to get as much caffeine as you show in the book, do we need to brew 5 or 10 grams of Gyokuro? You brewed 5 grams, but no more than 50 ml of water, and the book says 100 ml of water. It seems to me that it would be more correct to write how much koin is contained in 5 grams of dry leaf. Thank you.

[@bbshrimp]

these videos are really helpful and interesting... thanks for making them! 🍵✨

[@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool]

Thank you! :)

[@Inspector_Gadget88]

I purchased the sample pack of the gyokuro. Are these able to be brewed multiple times or do you recommend only brewing once.

[@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool]

Hi Chris, You can brew the gyokuro multiple times! We would recommend following these steps: - First brew: 40°C for 1 1/2 to 2 mins - Second brew: 50°C to 60°C for 1 min - Third brew: 70°C to 80°C for 30 secs - Fourth brew: 90°C or boiling water is fine. Immediately pour the tea to your teacup, you do not have to wait for the leaves to steep. Please do let us know how it goes :)

[@lorenyork]

Thank you for this information. I also enjoyed the video. Clear instructions in a calm voice are always appreciated. 😍

[@kierand9410]

@@dmatchaKyotoTeaSchool Thanks for the info. Is there any way to keep the wet tea leaves overnight to use the next day? I only have one cup a day.

[@kisekinomahou]

Is there anything that the Japanese do wrong?

[@YG-be3id]

Yes...religion. 😁

[@erod6468]

​@@YG-be3idwrong to you. You must be a crazy religious nut, so makes sense. 😁🤣

[@VahnWyrde]

I wanna go there. Im so invested but I am limited by my money and pandemic...

[@joewooks3935]

Damn bro... here I was, brewing 20oz just for myself, then he shows the amount of caffeine this tea has!
