Looks light. Maybe it's the light shining through it...
Liking the accoutrements there OCD what was the flavor profile like ?
The accouterments are fairly inexpensive items from the Pu'ehr Shop. But its all serviceable stuff. This one was backed up by Sencha as the base tea. So it had the flavors you'd expect from that - vegetal. But the toasted/popped rice was very pronounced. Really roasty cereal flavors. Overall a very savory cup of tea.
I've got a pack of (what is claimed to be) gyokuro karigane, which a relative bought me for Christmas. Will open it soon—I'm interested and skeptical in equal measures...
Yeah, for genmaicha, I'd agree with you. I hardly ever weigh tea anymore though. I just go based on what I think looks right in the scoop/pot.
If in doubt, add more!
Having said that. I don't often buy gyokuro and when I do, I don't think I use enough leaf.
