Better known as the Emperor of Japanese Teas, this plant with only one or two sprouts, is
shaded under traditional curtains called 'Kanreisha'. Green tea grown this way speaks of sweet flavours as without sunlight, bitter tannins are less, making it one of the most expensive Japanese green teas, harvested only 2 times a year.
What makes it great
Fine, tender leaves are plucked to yield this rare brew expressing nutty fragrances, and an
elegant sweet profile. Plucked from tea plants that innately consist of a characteristically sweet taste and mellow aroma, shading Gyokuro tea plants allows its leaves to develop a unique shade of ripened green!
