Unlike regular green tea, Gyokuro is cultivated using a special shading technique—tea bushes are carefully covered for several weeks before harvest. This process reduces bitterness and enhances the tea’s rich umami flavor and delicate aroma.

The method was pioneered in 1835 by Yamamoto Kahei VI, a tea merchant from Uji, near Kyoto. What began as an accidental discovery soon became a refined tradition, now recognized as one of the highest forms of Japanese tea craftsmanship.

Perfect for those seeking a refined, healthful experience in every sip, Gyokuro offers a luxurious taste and a gentle boost to the senses.
