How is Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro Made?

Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro tea bushes are covered with tradetional reed screen approximately 20 days prior to picking. By limiting the amount of light that reaches the new shoots while they are growing, the generation of catechins from amino acids (theanine) is suppressed, resulting in lower astringency and a rich flavor. An aroma, is one of Gyokuro's unique characteristics.
