Precious Jade Dew! Because of its unique blue-green color and naturally sweet taste, is Japan's highest quality Green Tea. Made only with the earliest buds of the first spring flush season, Gyokuro usually grows in the shade for around 20 days before hand-harvested. Due to reduced sunlight, less photosynthesis occurs resulting in increased amounts of amino acids, chlorophyll, and caffeine. This impacts the color, taste, and aroma - producing a sweet, delicate tea with a mellow body. The favorite Japanese Green Tea!
