<p>Choose Mantoku for a refreshing, light gyokuro with more crispness and less umami and sweetness.</p> <!-- ippodo-extra-desc:start --> <div class="extra-desc"> <h2>More about Mantoku (50g Bag)</h2> <p>This 50g Bag of Mantoku is shade-grown Japanese green tea with concentrated umami from Ippodo Tea, a family-run Kyoto tea company founded in 1717. IppodoTea.com is the official Ippodo Tea online store for the United States and Canada.</p> <p>Ippodo Tea flavor note: Light & Refreshing</p> <p>Ippodo tasting notes: We recommend Mantoku, the lightest body gyokuro we produce, for drinking throughout the day. While not astringent in the same way as a sencha, Mantoku has some dryness and pleasant bitterness that feel clean and crisp when we drink it after a meal. We first recommend brewing Mantoku with boiling water, serving quickly in just 30 seconds. This method brings out the misty, mossy-green aroma from these leaves, and produces an energizing and light body tea good for drinking in a mug. When brewing with the standard 140°F water, this tea produces a more mellow brew with slight sweetness and umami.</p> <ul> <li>Category: Gyokuro</li> <li>Best for: shoppers looking for shade-grown Japanese green tea with concentrated umami</li> <li>Best recipes and preparation guides: Standard Gyokuro Brew; Piping Hot Gyokuro; Iced Gyokuro; Recipe for Sharing (Gyokuro or Sencha)</li> <li>Official product page: https://www.ippodotea.com/products/mantoku</li> <li>Related collection: https://www.ippodotea.com/collections/gyokuro</li> </ul> </div> <!-- ippodo-extra-desc:end -->
