Sencha vs. Gyokuro: What’s the Difference?

The biggest difference between sencha and gyokuro is how the tea leaves are grown. Gyokuro is shaded before harvest, which creates a deeper umami and smoother sweetness. Sencha is grown with more sunlight, giving it a brighter aroma and a refreshing balance.
