Shibushi, Kagoshima, Japan

Gyokuro plantations are covered by shade for 3 weeks before harvest so most of the sun’s rays are covered from the leaves. This process ensures the plants release much more chlorophyll and amino acids than regular green tea. Gyokuro has a beautiful dark emerald appearance and offers a smooth, slightly buttery and subtly sweet vegetal taste profile.
