Please, help me!
I had a normal life -> Silver Moon, school, home, Pi Lo Chun, homework, Gunpowder, reading a book and some Dai Mutan Bambu before falling asleep. Everything was OK, until... I decided to buy it. It took me a while, because I couldn't find it in any tea shop in my city so I decided to order it through Internet. Then, the postman arrived with my parcel. As soon as he got out, I started unpacking it, stopped doing anything, just brewed... I've fallen in love at the fist taste... with my first cup of Gyokuro. Now, one of the most prestigious types of tea, usually prepared for special occasions, is the main tea I want to drink. When I get up, I think about Gyokuro, when I am at school, I am thinking where I left the thermometer, when I am going back, I am wondering if I have properly cleared my teapot last time... I have been reading this group for quite a long time and having so many specialists around me, I hope you will be able to find some kind of treatment or... just another kind of tea... Greetings, Theriel |

At ten dollars an ounce, thirty cups to an ounce, plus seventy cups of
reinfusions-100 cups for ten dollars is ten cents a cup. Way cheaper than soda pop. Even with no reinfusion, three cups for a dollar. How poor are you? Go for it.

I can't brew regular sencha to my satisfaction, let alone gyookuro, and
even long jing gives me trouble. Needle greens are so tough to brew! So, what are your suggestions about brewing it? ![]() |

Hi Teriel,
First, welcome to the group! Now, about your Gyokuro obsession: Keep on going! There are different Gyokuros out there, designated by growing area, my personal favorite of the moment being Yame, but that could change tomorrow. They make G by shading the leaf on the bush in order to force the leaf to produce more clorophyll, whence presumably the Gyokuro taste derives. Personally, it *is* a special occasion tea for me. It's a tea I want to "surprise" me when I drink it; this has little to do with cost. Anyway, good to hear about your enthusiastic embracing of this most excellent tea! Now, let's see how fickle you are, and what your next tea love will be.

Hi,
Gyokuro is also one of my favorite tea. I don't drink it very often because it's hard for me to find good Gyokuro. Has anybody advices on good places where to buy gyokuro on the Internet ? Valéry |

Needle greens are so tough to brew! > So, what are your suggestions about brewing it? ![]() I was following step by step the tutorial placed on http://tinyurl.com/ngmzr . However, there isn't any precise temperature given (only at the beginning and even wrong). Reading other websites, I found out that it should be around 50-60 C. Remember that this is the temperature of water which you should brew the tea with. So, first heat teapot, second heat teacups and _after_ it make measurement. Greetings, Theriel |

http://www.chajin.co.jp/ Site is in Japanese, run it through a translator. Manager is able to communicate well enough, in somewhat broken English, to do business via email. They take major USA Credit Cards. Prices are good and teas are great. No affiliation, just a very satisfied customer. -- Mike Petro http://www.pu-erh.net |

[cut] If that shop really sells high quality tea.... the expression "very reasonable" would be not enough. I have never seen such a cheap gyokuro. Btw, Are you sure this shop is good? Because according to the information on their site, they don't know too much about brewing (or there is something I don't know -> e.g: 75C and *8* minutes for gyokuro !) Do you know any other, good and checked shop but preferably placed in Europe? Greetings, Theriel |

I have never seen such a cheap gyokuro. > Btw, Are you sure this shop is good? I'm sure it's not, having looked at it. It's junk. Read its pidgin-French descriptions of its products and it will become clear that the owner doesn't know a thing and is just trying to make a buck. Another thing I'm sure of is that Howard is its proprietor and an obnoxious troll-advertiser. If you look at his previous posts, you'll see that each one is like the one above, a lame ad for his lame site. Howard, you don't even sell gyokuro on your crappy site - why are you contributing to this post at all? Please go to hell. To everyone else, especially Theriel, thanks for the info about gyokuro, and your enthusiasm is inspiring. I've been meaning to try some for a while, and I think I'll order some today, from an online retailer who doesn't make himself a pain in my ass. In the meantime, I think I'll start my day with some good sencha, which is the closest I can get to gyojuro for the moment. a |

Sorry, in my fury about Howard I completely forgot to make a constructive contribution to the thread. I've ordered matcha and accessories from www.o-cha.com. The service and quality were both great, and I plan to get some gyokuro from them today. However they are not in Europe and don't have a tremendous selection. |

Since "he" is anonymous, using a hotmail account, and only posts to advertise that one site, I take it that he thinks he is being clever in pretending to be a customer. Given business practices like this, I would avoid this site. I've tasted teas from the site which Mike Petro endorsed and found them to be pretty good. Rick. |
