Gyokuro

  Introducing our 2025 Gyokuro: A Shade-Kissed Elixir of Elegance

Step into the world of refinement with our latest offering, the 2025 Gyokuro. Crafted with precision, this exceptional tea represents the pinnacle of quality, an embodiment of the art of shading Sencha for 20-25 days. This unique cultivation process enhances both the theanine and caffeine content, giving birth to a captivating Umami flavor that's as sweet as it is distinctive. What's more, this tea is Aracha meaning it is not refined and has some of the stems and veins of the tea leaves, adding an even more complex character to this exclusive tea.

A Glimpse into Gyokuro's Rarity: Gyokuro production in Japan accounts for less than 1% of the year's total tea yield. This rarity is a testament to the meticulous care and attention bestowed upon each leaf. From cultivation to crafting, every step is a testament to the dedication of specialists who ensure that Gyokuro reaches its pinnacle.

An Enchanting Experience: To fully savor this extraordinary tea, we recommend a brewing approach that mirrors its uniqueness. Allow the leaves to dance in cooler water at 50°C, unlocking a taste journey that's delicate, nuanced, and truly enchanting.

Embrace the Exceptional: Gyokuro is an invitation to elevate your tea ritual, to indulge in the rare and precious. With every sip, you're not just tasting a tea; you're partaking in a legacy of craftsmanship that spans centuries. It's a journey that captivates the senses, a journey that's as exquisite as it is unforgettable.
