Description Brewing Tips   Gyokuro is the pinnacle of steeped Japanese green tea. The first tender leaves of the year that have been shaded from the sun are tenderly steamed and rolled, retaining its vibrant green color. The very same tea, when its stems and veins are removed and crushed into a fine powder, is none other than matcha. Steep this tea at lower temperatures, around 140 to 150 degrees, to bring out the theanine, the amino acids that contributes to the sweetness of the leaf flavor.   Features Shade-growing during the last 10 to 15 days before harvest gives leaves a sweeter, less tannic flavor Gyokuro is so esteemed in Japan it also has its own set of tea ceremonies Uji is the most famous region in Japan for tea growing, though only 3% of Japan's teas actually come from this region
