Organic Gyokuro green tea , harvested in Miyazaki prefecture, on the island of Kyushu in Japan, where the particularly hot climate enhances the characteristics of this tea.

Typical shadow tea , it is the most prized green tea in Japan whose meaning is " dew drops ". The main characteristic of Gyokuro tea is that approximately 20-25 days before being harvested, the plantations are completely covered with sheets to keep the plants in the shade.

This particular technique makes Gyokuro tea particularly rich in chlorophyll and L-theanine which greatly reduces the typical bitter and astringent flavor of common green teas or the less valuable Sencha. This makes Gyokuro green tea particularly delicious and fruity .

ORGANIC means without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
