Overview
Fully shaded for 2 to 3 weeks before the spring harvesting season Gyokuro green tea is among other green teas that contain a large number of amino acids,chlorophyll resulting in an elegant and sweeter taste filled with umami. By shading the tea leaves the tea producer protect the plant from the majority of sunlight. The simple shades reduce the exposure by about 70-80% , with this process the plant compensate by activating its metabolism and producing significantly more chlorophyll and preserving more amino acids. typically, this technique is observed to make special green teas as the onceβs mentioned above.
