Yame gyokuro is particularly celebrated for its deep umami, natural sweetness and velvety body — qualities shaped by a misty climate, mineral-rich soils and generations of skilled craftsmanship. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a true Hon Gyokuro, the most traditional and exacting style of gyokuro production. The tea gardens are covered with natural rice straw for several weeks before harvest, a meticulous shading method that dramatically increases amino acids and draws out maximum umami while softening bitterness. The result is a tea of profound depth, elegance and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, this refined gyokuro offers a smooth, silky body with a deep umami core.

Shading the bushes before harvest heightens sweetness and savoury character, yielding a luminous, lingering liquor with notes of sea greens and fresh cream. Similar to matcha in its nutrient profile, this loose-leaf, hand-rolled needle-shaped gyokuro delivers those vital benefits in a beautifully expressive leaf format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenowned not only for its flavour but also for its refinement, gyokuro is naturally rich in L-theanine and antioxidants, offering calm, focused energy and a moment of quiet indulgence.
