Gyokuro, meaning 'pearl dew,' is among the finest of Japanese teas. Gyokuro leaves are shaded from direct sunlight for approximately 3 weeks before the spring harvest. Removing direct sunlight in this way enhances the proportions of flavenols, amino acids, sugars, and other substances that provide tea aroma and taste. After harvesting the leaves are rolled and dried naturally giving it a crisp, clean taste.
