Green Tea From Japan | Japanese Green Tea | Organic Green Tea

http://www.greenteafromjapan.com/ Since Gyokuro Green Tea From Japan steeps at such a mild temperature, sources may recommend pre-heating both the pot and cup to maintain the warmth of the tea as one drinks it. Brew all Japanese Green Tea in a Tokoname Clay Teapot and drink Gyokuro very slowly to savor its distinctive flavor. Though it is categorized as a type of sencha according to production methods, gyokuro cultivation differs from other sencha teas. Gyokuro tea leaves are covered up to be shielded from the sun for at least two weeks before being harvested. This causes the amino acids (Theanine) and caffeine in the tea leaves to increase, while catechin (the source of bitterness in tea) decreases, giving rise to a sweet flavor. The tea also gains a distinct aroma from the covering process. Our green tea from Japan is safe and grown in the southern islands unaffected by disaster and far from the main island areas. All out tea is JAS Certified Organic Japanese Green Tea.
