A Japanese rarity also known as 'jewel dew', the tea leaves are shaded from sunlight for at least 20 days before harvest. This unique harvesting process produces a sweeter and less astringent tea with higher concentration of nutrients. Gyokuro uses only the small tea leaves plucked from the top of the plant.Â
In Japan, Gyokuro green tea is served especially to honor guests. It has an elegant, yet strong flavour with a hint of sweetness.
Brew in water that is 50°C - 60°C to bring out the best flavours.Â
