Gyokuro

Like matcha, gyokuro is a shaded Japanese green tea. The difference lies in how it's processed after harvesting. About three weeks before harvesting, gyokuro leaves are shaded from the sun. Shading reduces sunlight exposure, slowing photosynthesis and allowing L-theanine to build up in the tea plant. This shading that increases L-theanine production significantly influences the tea's flavor. It gives gyokuro its distinct umami taste, with sweet undertones. Additionally, gyokuro is less astringent because it contains fewer catechins.

Our Gyokuro produces a light green color and has a deep, complex flavor with a unique sweetness from its high Theanine content.
