Description Discover the depth and elegance of Gyokuro, one of Japan’s most celebrated and luxurious green teas. Grown in the misty hills of Yame, a region renowned for producing e xceptional umami-rich teas, this limited-release Gyokuro is crafted using traditional shade-growing techniques that concentrate sweetness, chlorophyll, and amino acids. The tea leaves are shade-grown for 20-30 days before harvest. Harvested from tender first-flush leaves, Gyokuro offers an intensely smooth, umami-forward flavour with delicate sweetness, buttery body, and a subtle vegetal finish. Its vibrant green liquor and soft, almost marine-like aroma reflect the care and craftsmanship behind every cup. Produced in small batches by award-winning farmers, this Gyokuro is meant to be sipped slowly – a meditative, ceremonial experience that reveals Japan’s green tea artistry at its finest. Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian. *Please note that the image is for reference purposes only.

Steeping Suggestions Water temperature: 50-60°C Amount: 1.5 tsp (approx. 3g) per 60ml of water Steep time: 90-120 seconds Tip: Use less water and more leaves than typical green teas to unlock Gyokuro’s signature umami depth. Brew gently – lower temperatures preserve the tea’s sweet, buttery complexity.
