A Japanese rarity which roughly translates as "jewel dew".About two weeks before the harvest the tea bushes are covered with bamboo mats. The "shadow tea" develops less tannin, has a distinctly higher caffeine content and the leaves are a very dark green and slightly shiny. In Japan Gyokuro is served especially to guests of honour. It has an
elegant, subtle, yet strong flavour with a touch of sweetness. It is often used as the base tea for Matcha production.
