Very vegetal infusion, with notes of water chestnut. Rich in chlorophyll, poor in tannin.
Remarks
Gyokuro (literally “Jewel of Dew”) is a high-quality Japanese tea. To produce Gyokuro, 3 weeks before harvest, the tea plants are deprived of sunlight thanks to an arbor promoting the significant development, through photosynthesis, of caffeine and chlorophyll. This is what gives it this very particular color, this taste so fine, so sweet and so concentrated, this scent similar to blue leaves of algae. About 90% of sunlight is removed by artificial shade from straw or synthetics. This process reduces the tannin and anthocyanin content. The “shoots” will remain like this, in the shadows, until harvest time. The harvest is manual. The leaves are steamed, dried and rolled lengthwise.
