WHAT IS GYOKURO
Gyokuro is a type of green tea in Japan that is highly regarded for its exceptional quality. It is also known as “jade dew.” Gyokuro is considered rare, even in Japan.
HOW IS IT PRODUCED
To make this tea, the leaves are shaded from sunlight for at least 20 days before being picked. This shading helps produce chlorophyll and amino acids in the young leaves, making them a deep green color.
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE
Regarding the flavor, the leaves are steamed and rolled carefully to keep it less bitter and more delicate. When the leaves are steeped in water, they release a fresh and sweet smell that adds to the experience of drinking Gyokuro.
The process also increases the amount of natural caffeine in the tea, but it still has a soft and mild taste with hints of umami.
When you brew Gyokuro, you get a rich, savory taste with a little bit of sweetness and an aftertaste that stays with you. The tea feels smooth and full, which is different from other Japanese green teas. The careful shading process gives the tea a complex taste that tea lovers like.
HOW CAN YOU ENJOY IT

Whether you drink it by itself or with a traditional Japanese dessert, Gyokuro gives you an unforgettable tea experience.
