This premium-grade Gyokuro stands out with an even higher level of mastery. This is a tea whose cultivation and production receives exceptional, extraordinarily meticulous attention \u2013 from the first buds of the tea plant to the final processing stage. This Gyokuro is crafted exclusively from the highest-grade harvest of master Uejima-san, where the tea plants are tended by hand, with constant monitoring of their condition and leaf maturity.   <\/p>\n<p>The shading process limits light exposure to the tea plants, causing the plant to produce more amino acids, especially L-theanine. This element gives the tea sweetness, smoothness, and a pronounced umami flavor. At the same time, the polyphenol content decreases \u2013 compounds that typically contribute bitterness \u2013 so Gyokuro Japanese green tea is distinguished by an exceptionally smooth, subtle texture and a deep, almost broth-like flavor. Only first-harvest leaves, called &#8220;ichibancha,&#8221; are used for this tea \u2013 the most tender, aromatic, and valuable.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Master Uejima-san is one of the most respected tea masters of Wazuka town.<\/strong> Uejima-san is a fifth-generation tea grower who has worked daily in the Wazuka fields for more than nine decades, nurturing his family&#8217;s traditions. His name is associated with exceptional quality, and tea enthusiasts often share stories of his dedication and mastery. Tasting his tea becomes a special experience for many.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Brewing:<\/strong> we recommend using 5g of leaves and steeping them in 60\u00b0C water for 30\u201390 seconds. The same leaves can be steeped 3\u20134 times, each time revealing a different flavor nuance. This is the recommended method to unlock Gyokuro&#8217;s full character, but we always encourage experimentation to find your favorite brewing balance.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gyokuro is one of Japan&#8217;s most special and luxurious teas. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bushes grown for this tea are shaded from direct sunlight for three weeks.
