Nateavia Gyokuro Yabukita - Premium Organic Japanese Loose Leaf Green Tea - Smooth, Mild - Authentic Japanese Origin, from Shizuoka - 50g

Gyokuro is the finest grade of Japanese green tea. It has a sweet flavor, with a unique mildly astringent aroma and mellow umami taste. Gyokuro is a top-quality Sencha that requires a special cultivation method where the tea leaves are completely shaded from direct sunlight for around 20 days before the harvesting, which takes place in spring. Compared with sencha, Gyokuro tends to be smoother, more full-bodied, and less astringent. Gyokuro is also much richer than sencha in umami, due to its high levels of theanine. Thanks to the shading process, the rate of photosynthesis is significantly reduced, and less theanine gets converted to other compounds.
Nateavia Organic Gyokuro is recommended for those who are keen to receive 100% of the nutrients of the leaf while cutting down on their intake of chemicals. We assure you a higher level of safety and reliability with JAS and Canada Organic certifications.
