Sobre este ingrediente

Japan's most prestigious shaded green tea, distinguished by 20+ days of pre-harvest shading that suppresses catechin synthesis and elevates theanine concentrations 2-3x above sencha. Yame (Fukuoka) and Uji (Kyoto) are the two recognised production regions; Yame produces ~45% of Japan's gyokuro by volume. The deep umami profile and intense green color command per-kg prices 5-10x sencha. Used in premium beverage, supplement, and L-theanine extraction applications.
