Gyokuro Tea

Gyokuro is a premium shaded growth known for its unique cultivation and flavour profile

Gyokuro tea is grown in the shade for several weeks before harvesting, which enhances its chlorophyll content, giving the leaves a vibrant green color and a sweet, umami-rich taste.

The shading process reduces bitterness and astringency while boosting theanine, an amino acid that imparts a savoury, rich broth-like flavour.

Gyokuro is typically brewed at a lower temperature and at longer periods than other green teas.

Its rarity and meticulous production make Gyokuro a sought-after and distinctive tea among Japanese green tea enthusiasts.
