Uji Gyokuro Superior is considered as one of the best green teas in Japan. It is produced in the ancient city Kyoto in Japan, made of earliest tea sprouts in spring. It is covered by screens for 20 days before harvesting. This particular method brings Gyokuro this mild and sweet flavor. Gyokuro's name refers to its pale jade tea color, and belongs to the family of steamed green tea.
