Gyokuro is one of Japan’s most treasured green teas, known for its rich, smooth flavor and beautiful deep green leaves. This shade-grown Japanese green tea is covered from the sun for several weeks before harvest, allowing the tender spring leaves to develop more depth, sweetness, and complexity.
The result is a refined cup with a silky body, soft vegetal sweetness, and delicate savory notes. Our Gyokuro offers aromas of buttered greens, fresh spring growth, and a gentle seaweed-like umami character, without harshness or grassy bitterness.
Smooth, elegant, and deeply satisfying, Gyokuro is best enjoyed with slightly cooler water and careful steeping. For the best experience, re-steep the leaves multiple times and enjoy how the flavor opens with each infusion.
