Gyokuro, meaning 'jade dew,' is one of Japan's most revered green teas. It is traditionally grown in regions known for their rich soil and favorable climate, such as Kyushu and Shizuoka. The practice of shading the tea plants before harvest, known as "kabusecha," dates back centuries and is a key factor in the tea's unique flavor and nutritional profile. Gyokuro has been a staple in Japanese tea culture for centuries, often served at special occasions due to its sophisticated and elegant nature.
