This week at Nio Gyokuro Cha Meijin Hello Green Tea Lovers!



This is Will from Nio, and today I’m going to talk a bit about our tea of the week, which is the Gyokuro Cha Meijin! Why is it so High Quality? You may notice that the Gyokuro Cha Meijin is the most premium leaf green tea we offer at Nio. The reason for this comes down to cultivar.



The Samidori cultivar one of the most sought after cultivars when it comes to Japanese green tea. It is also the most expensive because it is the hardest to grow. It requires special attention to grow it until maturity. The cultivar is known for its amazing sweetness and thin, delicate leaves.



The Gyokuro Cha Musume is made entirely from the Yabukita cultivar, the Sasa Hime is made from a mix of cultivars and finally, the Cha Meijin is purely from the Samidori cultivar. This gives the tea superior sweetness and complexity. Who Makes This Gyokuro? Many Gyokuro farmers struggle to grow good Gyokuro using organic methods. The tea has to undergo shading for up to 21 days, and that is very stressful for the plant.



Growing organic Gyokuro is a skill that Mr. Sakamoto and his brother have perfected over time. He uses his own blend of organic fertilizer to keep the tea plants strong and healthy all the way through the 21 days. He nourishes his plants with a proprietary blend of nutrient and minerals. It works so well, other farmers buy it from him! You can try a sample for just $2!
