A shade-grown Japanese green tea, Gyokuro is known for its rich umami flavor and deep, almost jade-green color. The shading process increases chlorophyll and amino acids, resulting in a naturally sweet, savory tea. Gyokuro is a premium tea that’s enjoyed slowly, often using lower brewing temperatures to preserve its delicate flavor.
