Gyokuro as Luxury Tea: Gyokuro, one of the highest-grade teas in Japan, is often served to important guests due to its exquisite taste and quality. The careful cultivation process, which takes more time and effort, contributes to its luxurious status and superior taste.

Unique Cultivation Method

Covered Cultivation: Gyokuro is cultivated using a unique method known as covered cultivation, where the tea plants are covered for a certain period before harvesting. This process, known as "kabuse" (covered), differs from Kabusecha, another covered cultivar. Gyokuro is typically covered for 20 days or more, while Kabusecha is usually covered for around 1 week to 10 days.

Umami and Amino Acids

Rich Umami: Rich in umami flavor, Gyokuro has a full-bodied taste that is far less bitter and astringent. This is largely due to its high content of amino acids, particularly theanine, which are not converted into catechins (bitter and astringent compounds) due to the minimal sunlight exposure. Theanine, produced in the roots and transported to the leaves, remains intact, resulting in a smooth and sweet taste.
