New Gyokuro Tea Herbal Jade Dew Gyokuro Organic Loose Leaf Tea
Gyokuro, translated as “Jade Dew”, is one of the highest-grade teas in Japan.
Gyokuro is a shaded green tea, which means the tea plants are covered with sheets for about 20 days before the harvest. This process increases the production of chlorophyll and amino acids, which gives Gyokuro its distinctive sweetness and umami flavor.
Gyokuro is also very rich in nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
Gyokuro is usually prepared by steeping the tea leaves in hot water for a short period of time, typically around 30-60 seconds. This produces a tea that is flavorful and refreshing, with a slightly sweet and umami taste.
