 Kathy's Digital Log: Gyokuro
Review: Amongst Japanese green teas, I usually drink sencha, so gyokuro is new to me. That said, I selected a gyokuro from Teavana, and a gyokuro from Tealuxe in order to cross-compare them.
The taste is slightly more bitter and heavier than Teavana's gyokuro, which is why the rating is a bit lower.
This is probably because Tealuxe's gyokuro tea leaves are smaller overall, and contain more brown than Teavana's gyokuro tea leaves.
