Gyokuro Tea

Premium Shade-Grown Japanese Green Tea

Gyokuro is one of Japan’s most prized and refined green teas, known for its deep flavor, smooth texture, and exceptional quality. Grown under shade for several weeks before harvest, the tea leaves develop higher levels of chlorophyll and amino acids, resulting in a richer, more complex cup.

This careful cultivation process gives Gyokuro its signature umami depth, natural sweetness, and vibrant green infusion—making it one of the most luxurious teas available.

Key Characteristics

• Premium shade-grown Japanese green tea
• High in amino acids (especially L-theanine)
• Rich, smooth, and full-bodied
• Deep green infusion
• One of Japan’s highest-grade teas

Flavor Profile

Gyokuro produces a deep, silky cup with notes of:

• Umami richness
• Sweet vegetal tones
• Fresh seaweed
• Soft natural sweetness
• Smooth, lingering finish

This tea is known for its brothy, savory depth rather than sharp or grassy notes.

Why This Tea Stands Out

The shading process:

• Increases amino acid content
• Reduces bitterness
• Enhances sweetness and umami
• Produces a smoother, more refined flavor

Gyokuro is considered a connoisseur’s tea due to its complexity and craftsmanship.

Tea Benefits*

• Naturally rich in antioxidants
• High in L-theanine for calm focus
• Provides gentle, sustained energy
• Supports general wellness

Brewing Instructions (IMPORTANT – This Matters for Gyokuro)

Use 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of water

Water temperature: 140–160°F

Steep 2–3 minutes

👉 Lower temperature is critical to avoid bitterness and preserve umami.

Leaves can be re-steeped multiple times.
