Gyokuro Shiun by Marukyu Koyamaen with its vivid green leaves imparts a caramelised sweet corn scent with light umami and bright herbaceous notes. As the leaves brew, these delicate flavours shine. With no bitterness or astringency, Shiun is creamy, refreshing and naturally sweet. Gyokuro tea is cultivated in the same process as Tencha (used for matchas) and presented as rolled leaves that support multiple brews. The 2nd and 3rd infusions draw out its deeper umami flavours and the seaweed and savoury notes develop. Shiun is a light bodied, mid tiered gyokuro for those seeking a refreshing post meal tea with a clean finish. Pairing with meals, this is a lovely palate cleanser for heavier dishes or an accompaniment to lighter vegetable or fish dishes.
Marukyu Koyamaen's '丸久小山園', history spans 300 years, and epitomises a commitment to quality in tea production. Located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, this esteemed tea grower, procurer, and blender boasts a private estate dating back to 1704. Their range of Japanese green teas are meticulously crafted through a combination of traditional and modern techniques and remains unparalleled in the world of Matcha making. Favoured by the tea schools, shrines, temples and widely seen in the kitchens of some of the world's best restaurants and hotels, the Marukyu Koyamaen name today is far reaching and widely recognised.
