The most noble of Japanese teas. Gyokuro is sometimes described as “leafy matcha” because, like matcha, it is grown in darkness. For three weeks before harvest, the tea garden is covered with traditional jikagise mats. Each day, additional layers are added, eventually blocking as much as 94% of sunlight. As a result, the plants produce increased levels of caffeine, amino acids, and chlorophyll, which directly shape the character of the infusion. The leaves are smaller, but consequently far richer and more concentrated.
Gyokuro has an intoxicatingly marine flavor, a strikingly vivid color, a heady aroma of green vegetables, and the depth of a rich broth. It is sweet, dense, and lightly saline. This tea embodies all the ideals of Japanese tea, a powerful offering with an almost ceremonial status.
