Gyokuro - Japanese Green Tea
Gyokuro - Japanese Green Tea - An exceptional shade-grown green tea from Japan. One of the Worlds finest green teas. Gyokuro - also known as Jade Dew Tea, is highly sought after and makes up less than 0.5% of Japan's annual tea production.
The tea plants are shaded for up to 4 weeks before harvesting which increases production of chlorophyll giving them a deeper green colour. Gyokuro is high in caffeine, but it is also rich in L-theanine, which slows caffeine absorption and provides a calmer, more focused energy without the sharp jittery crash of coffee.
The leaves are carefully harvested and processed to produce the distinctive flavour and aroma. The dark green leaves produce a bright and lively, pale green, umami-rich infusion with a distinctive vegetal sweetness. Infusing the leaves in warm (not hot) water creates a sweet, complex flavour and avoids astringency (Infuse in water heated to 50-70 degrees for 1-3 minutes).
This high grade Gyokuro green tea is a must try for tea enthusiasts and a very special addition to our range.
