Gyokuro stands among the most prestigious types of Japanese green tea, renowned for its unique cultivation and distinctive flavor. Its name, meaning "precious dew," reflects the meticulous care required in its production and the value of every drop of this exquisite beverage. Three weeks before harvesting, the tea plants are shaded, slowing photosynthesis and increasing the L-theanine content in the leaves. The result is a tea with a pronounced umami flavor, complemented by a gentle sweetness. Gyokuro is renowned for its sweet, velvety texture and rich umami notes. This tea is a true delight for tea enthusiasts and those looking to experience the luxury of Japanese tea traditions.
