About teas:

Gyokuro (玉露) it is one of the noblest of all Japanese and sometimes all world green teas. It is valued for its unique sweet taste and health properties of vegetables and herbs. When growing in the shade, a large amount is produced per leaf chlorophyll, due to which the color of the leaf is dark green. Growing in the shade prevents L-theanine from converting to catechin, which gives tea its bitterness. This compound enhances the flavor known as “umami” in tea and adds sweetness.

Sencha (煎茶) - the most popular of all Japanese teas. It is very rich in vitamin C, trace elements and antioxidants, especially catechins, which inhibit cell aging, help our body to maintain youth and protect the cardiovascular system. Catechins also aid in digestion, which is why Sencha is recommended to be taken within 30 minutes. after a meal. Due to its mild taste, Sencha pairs well with food, especially with dishes such as tempura and seafood.
