Tasted gyokuro tea for the first time yesterday. The shop person told me « expect an explosion of umami, then sweeter creamy tea, then an almost-normal tea on the third infusion » and that was exactly it.

It was weird but I think I'll do it again − just not put it in my daily tea rotation!

I love gyokuro. Definitely not a tea I would want to drink every day (both for taste and price reasons), but for special occasions it is great.
