Gyokuro is one of Japan’s most prized green teas, shade-grown for several weeks before harvest to concentrate amino acids and develop a rich umami profile. Grown in Kyoto, this tea brews a deep emerald liquor with a thick, smooth body and elegant notes of seaweed, steamed greens, and a lingering sweetness.
Its low astringency and savory depth make it a luxurious tea for quiet moments, best enjoyed in small sips.
