Yame produces the best and authentic gyokuro in Japan. 30 days prior to harvest, the gyokuro trees are covered by grass to avoid direct sun exposure. Without exposing to sunlight, gyokuro develops a very special flavour and fragrance called umami in Japanese, resembling that of seaweed. The texture of gyokuro is thick and smooth, lingering on your tongue with the umami fragrance, hence the name in Japanese means "Jade Dew".
 
This gyokuro white tea is even more premium using only natural variegated tea leaves which gives more fragrance. Compared with the ordinary gyokuro, it contains some nutty flavours which balances so well with the umami flavor.

八女玉露為全日本玉露的極品，摘取新芽前30天以稻草覆蓋，甜味芳醇。由於沒有日光直接照射，玉露茶葉會生產出一種獨有的味道：鮮味，像海苔般的味道。玉露的口感極度濃厚及柔滑，像包裹著您的舌頭及口腔，在齒頰間留有馥郁的香氣，故命「玉露」。
 
玉露白茶採用珍稀的天然白化茶葉，鮮甜味豐富，香氣悠長，擁有果仁香味，與玉露的鮮味相得益彰。
