What makes Kangiten - BIO Gyokuro special?
Gyokuro, meaning "jade dew," is a tea unlike any other. It is Japan's most prized green tea, and its unique character comes from a special cultivation and processing method.
Shading of bushes – about 3 weeks before harvest, plantations are covered with special mats that block sunlight.
More chlorophyll, more umami – thanks to shading, the leaves become richer in amino acids, especially L-theanine, which gives the tea a deep, sweet flavor.
Manual harvesting and careful selection – only the most delicate leaves are used for production, guaranteeing the highest quality and harmony of taste.
The result of this process is a tea full of umami, with a velvety, sweet, and slightly oceanic aftertaste, free from the bitterness characteristic of many green teas.
