Gyokuro

Gyokuro stands as the pinnacle of Japanese green teas, representing less than half a percent of all green tea produced in Japan. This exquisite tea is distinguished by its unique cultivation process; about three weeks before harvest, the tea plants destined for gyokuro are shaded by 90%. This shading alters the tea’s characteristics significantly, enhancing its flavor and aroma. Due to the intensive labor and meticulous care required in its production, gyokuro is more expensive than other types of green tea. This premium tea is truly a luxurious choice for tea connoisseurs.
