Gyokuro is a high-quality Japanese green tea that is highly regarded for its unique flavor, delicate aroma, and vibrant green color. It is considered one of the finest and most prized types of green tea in Japan. The name "gyokuro" translates to "jewel dew" or "jade dew," which is a reference to the tea's vivid green color and the way it is grown and processed.
The distinctive characteristics of gyokuro are primarily attributed to its cultivation and processing methods. The tea plants used for gyokuro are shaded from direct sunlight for a few weeks before harvesting. This shading process, known as "shading" or "kabuse," causes the tea leaves to develop a rich flavor, increased chlorophyll content, and reduced bitterness. The shading also encourages the production of amino acids, particularly L-theanine, which contributes to the tea's umami flavor and sweet aftertaste.
Gyokuro leaves are harvested by hand, selecting the youngest and most tender leaves from the tea bushes. After harvesting, the leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation, rolled to shape them, and then dried. The careful processing preserves the tea's unique characteristics and delicate flavors.
When brewed, gyokuro produces a pale green liquor with a distinct vegetal aroma and a sweet, umami-rich taste. The flavor profile is often described as complex, with notes of seaweed, spinach, and steamed greens. Due to its meticulous cultivation and processing methods, gyokuro is considered a premium tea and is usually more expensive compared to other green teas.
In Japanese tea culture, gyokuro is often enjoyed during formal tea ceremonies or as a special treat for its unique and refined taste. It's also recommended to use specific teapots and utensils designed for brewing gyokuro to bring out its best qualities.
