comfortable 60 C. Indeed, gyokuros refined luxurious taste is meant to be
savored, not rushed.For those who want a taste of fine gyokuro at a mid-level price, Rimpo is an

Rimpo is the perfect starting point for first-time gyokuro drinkers, as well as
seasoned drinkers who are accustomed to gyokuro from other tea shops.
