Gyokuro Shuppin is a premium variety of Japanese green tea, known for its exceptional quality and rich flavor. It is made from shade-grown tea leaves, similar to other high-end teas like matcha, but is carefully harvested and processed to maintain a delicate, sweet taste. Gyokuro Shuppin is prized for its smooth, umami-rich flavor, low astringency, and deep green color. The shading process increases the chlorophyll content, resulting in a tea that offers a complex, aromatic profile with hints of seaweed and a natural sweetness. It's often considered one of the finest green teas in Japan.
