Gyokuro

Gyokuro is a high-quality Japanese green tea appreciated for its rich, sweet flavor and vibrant green color. It’s shaded from sunlight for several weeks before harvesting, which enhances its amino acids and grants a deep umami taste. The leaves are carefully cultivated and processed, resulting in a tea that’s smooth, mildly sweet, and less astringent than other green teas. Gyokuro is typically brewed at a lower temperature, allowing its complex flavors to unfold fully. It’s a refined tea enjoyed for its nuanced taste and delicate aroma, representing the artistry of Japanese matcha and green tea traditions.
