About Ocha & Co. Organic Gyokuro Green Tea – Shade

Premium Organic Japanese Gyokuro Loose Leaf Green Tea Gyokuro tea is a premium Japanese green tea containing high amounts of umami. Shaded from the sun for 20 days to increase the levels of chlorophyl and the amino acid L-theanine, cool temperatures in the mountain areas slows leaf growth and concentrates aroma in the leaf. The Gyokuro green tea plants are grown without chemical fertilizers, and leaves are picked when they are young for a smooth, rich and aromatic organic green tea.
