This incredible Japanese tea is steamed as it dries, yielding a sweet, light flavor with no bitterness. This tea is green, not brown."Tama" means round."(R) yokucha" means green tea - so "round green tea." This extremely green tea is finished in the shade - "Gyokuro" style, covered for the last few weeks of growth to preserve the chlorophyll. This gives it a full complex flavor.
