Description

GYOKURO – IRRESISTIBLE CHARMS: is a premium shade-grown Japanese green tea with a high concentration of rich umami flavor. While sencha is usually grown under the full sun, Gyokuro is shielded from the sun, for 20 days Gyokuro is processed like sencha with the many possible variables that can be adjusted, the most important being the steaming time. A light (short) steaming time allows the farmer to maintain the shape of the leaf, this results in long perfectly shaped needles when rolled
COLOR AND APPEARANCE OF GYOKURO: Gyokuro tea leaves are a deeper green than those of sencha. This strong color is due to the chlorophyll in the leaves. The leaves produce a lot of chlorophyll as they try to photosynthesize efficiently with only a small amount of light by cultivating in the shade. Also, Gyokuro tea leaves that are long and narrow are considered to be of the highest quality. The neatly arranged, long, and narrow leaves give the tea the appearance of being a high-quality tea.
