Gyokuro, literally “jade dew,” is the most prestigious and rare shade-grown green tea from Japan is the most prestigious and rare shade-grown green tea from Japan. This year we selected gyokuro from three producers in the Okabe region: Tohei San, Maejima San and Omura San Each teamaker offers an expression of the classic Okabe style, which emphasizes a unique mountain freshness balanced with umami depth. Tohei San cultivates gyokuro according to the traditional tana method of shading tea bushes with woven straw-thatch mats called komo, which he weaves himself. It is more time-consuming than modern methods, but worth the extra effort. This year, Tohei San's Gyokuro has umami and rich flavor with notes of hijiki preserve. The special balance of umami and high mountain minerals taste is refreshing and energizing.
