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 exceptional 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.

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.
Hi All
Absolutely loving my Gyokuro!
Just started to brew it the way I believe tastes it's best.
It's got beautiful deep aparagus/rich green Unami notes on first pour then as steeped continually the rich Unami softens to a smooth pea green.
Really loving the ability to pour many extractions and taste many differences.
Thank you

Not the biggest fan of this tea. Mostly just tastes like burnt rice with a slight earthy taste but it could be different for everyone

i’m particular about my matcha, like, the word “ceremonial” means nothing to me - this is the best matcha I have sourced. EVER. full stop. it’s worth the price. everytime. and it’s so fun to try the different cultivars!
