The key to creating its unique, silky sweetness, thanks to increased amino acid theanine, lies in controlling sunlight. To achieve this, the entire tea garden is covered, shielding the tea plants from direct sunlight. While most Gyokuro cultivation regions use synthetic fiber for covering, Yame insists on using natural straw, as synthetic materials can raise the field's temperature excessively. Blocking the light allows nutrients to flow differently, prompting the new buds to grow upwards, a testament to the natural vitality that is the source of its exquisite flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarvesting is equally meticulous.
