Review of Gyokuro Imperial Green Tea

The aroma of Gyokuro tea is very similar to fresh cut grass, rich and lively with distinctive notes of seaweed. I was very curious how the tea profile will hold up after steeping.
The taste is refreshing with reminiscent of seaweed and much sweeter aftertaste than regular Sencha. This tea is great for multiple infusions. The color of the infusion is bright yellow with green tones.
This tea is definitely pricey, but worth the money. Keep in mind that Gyokuro is specialty tea.
