Gyokuro is one of the most prestigious types of Japanese green tea, known for its unique cultivation and distinctive taste. Its name, meaning "precious dew," reflects the care required in its cultivation and the preciousness of every drop of this prestigious beverage. The tea plants are shaded for three weeks before harvesting, which slows photosynthesis and increases the L-theanine content in the leaves. The result is a tea with a distinct umami flavor, rounded off by a mild sweet aftertaste. Gyokuro is known for its sweet, creamy texture and rich umami tones. This tea is a real treat for tea lovers and those who want to explore the luxury of Japanese tea tradition.

Preparation instructions

The traditional preparation of Gyokuro tea involves using water at a temperature of 50–60 °C. For 50 ml of water, 3 grams of tea are used. The tea is steeped until the leaves open, subsequent infusions are shorter. The tea is served in small cups to enjoy its rich umami flavor.
