ORGANIC GYOKURO

1.8 oz
$35.00

DESCRIPTION

  • Gyokuro is a high-quality Japanese green tea that is made from shade-grown tea leaves. The tea bushes are covered for several weeks before harvesting, which slows down the growth of the leaves and increases their chlorophyll content, resulting in a sweeter and more delicate flavor.

  • The name Gyokuro means "jade dew" in Japanese, and refers to the pale green color and lustrous appearance of the tea leaves. The flavor of Gyokuro is complex, with a subtle sweetness, umami (savory) notes, and a smooth, silky texture.

  • Because of its unique production process and high quality, Gyokuro is one of the most expensive types of Japanese green tea.

  • The shade-growing process also reduces the bitterness and astringency of the tea, resulting in a sweeter, more mellow taste. Gyokuro is typically brewed at lower temperatures than other green teas to bring out its delicate flavor and aroma.

  • This tea is one of the most valued products of the Nippon islands. It is picked by hand in specially shaded fields, guaranteeing a rare experience.
