Description

  • This is a luxurious, high-quality matcha (powdered green tea) made with 100% Yame-grown gyokuro. Yame teas gyokuro has a strong body, is mellow, and has a sweet taste. Gyokuro is a high-grade tea, so to enjoy the original taste of gyokuro, please drink it with cooled water at a low temperature. Since it is in powder form, it is also easy to use in gyokuro manju and other dishes.
  • It is sugar-free, additive-free, salt-free, color-free, and fragrance-free, so you can mix it with hot water, water, or milk as it is, or you can add sugar and use it for sweets and dishes.
  • Gyokuro is a type of Japanese tea, one of the teas that represent Japanese tea alongside green tea. It has an image of a high-end tea to be served when there are important guests. Gyokuro is considered a luxury item because it takes more effort to cultivate and produces less than other teas.
  • Gyokuro is characterized by being grown under cover for a certain period of time, blocking out the sunlight. This method of covering the tea garden for a certain period of time before harvesting is called covered cultivation.
  • There is also Kabusecha which is also cultivated under cover, but Gyokuro has a longer covering period than Kabusecha. Although there are regional differences, Kabusecha is generally covered for about 1 week to 10 days before harvesting, while Gyokuro is covered for about 20 days or more.
  • Gyokuro has a rich, strong umami flavor. On the other hand, you dont feel much bitterness or astringency. This is because it contains a lot of amino acids, which are the umami components of tea. Among the amino acids contained in tea, theanine is the most abundant component.
  • Theanine is produced in the roots of the tea tree and transported to the leaves. At this time, it is known that when exposed to sunlight, theanine is broken down and eventually changes into catechins, which are astringent and bitter components. In the case of gyokuro, which grows with little exposure to sunlight, the umami component theanine remains in the tea leaves without changing into catechins, resulting in less bitterness.
  • In addition, the characteristics of Gyokuro brought about by covered cultivation do not stop at its taste and fragrance. If you compare the leaves of Gyokuro with those of regular sencha, you will notice that Gyokuro has a deeper green color. The green color of tea leaves is due to chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy through photosynthesis. Under covered cultivation, there is a need to efficiently photosynthesize with little light, so as much chlorophyll as possible is produced to capture
  • If you want to enjoy delicious Gyokuro, it is recommended to brew it slowly with relatively low-temperature water around 40C. When brewed at low temperatures, amino acids, which are umami components, are extracted sufficiently while catechins and caffeine which cause bitterness and astringency are not extracted much. If you want to enjoy Gyokuros characteristic strong umami flavor, low-temperature extraction is more suitable than high-temperature extraction.
  • This product is a luxurious Gyokuro Powder made from Yame Gyokuro. Its nice to enjoy Gyokuro in powder form, and its also easy and convenient to use in sweets such as Gyokuro Manju and Gyokuro Yokan.
