Gyokuro is one of Japan’s most special and luxurious teas. The bushes grown for this tea are shaded from direct sunlight for three weeks. This cultivation method gives the tea its distinctive sweet umami flavour. It is this flavour that makes gyokuro Queen of green tea. Fifth-generation master Uejima-san invites you to taste gyokuro from Kyotanabe with a particularly rich umami flavour.
