Being a shade-cultivated tea, gyokuro is rich in theanine-an amino acid responsible for gyokuros full-bodied mellow sweetness and slightly viscous nature. In Japan, there is a special name for this taste: umami. Generally, the higher the grade, the richer the umami taste. While many teas are served hot and consumed as a means to quench a thirst, gyokuro is different. A typical serving is a precious 1/3 of a teacup at a very comfortable 60 C. Indeed, gyokuros refined luxurious taste is meant to be savored, not rushed. For those who want a taste of fine gyokuro at a mid-level price, Rimpo is an excellent choice. With enough umami to represent the true character of gyokuro, Rimpo is the perfect starting point for first-time gyokuro drinkers, as well as seasoned drinkers who are accustomed to gyokuro from other tea shops. As a gift for someone special or for yourself, Ippodo is pleased to offer this tea in a special-edition red lacquered metal can with gold lettering. Exclusive to Rimpo, this attractive small can is about a 8-day supply for someone who enjoys their Rimpo once or twice a day. Encased in a gift box and special Ippodo wrapping paper.
