Gyokuro Shizuoka

Gyokuro Shizuoka - Deep enjoyment from the tea soul of Japan

Are you looking for a Japanese green tea that will surprise you every day and yet never overwhelm you? Gyokuro from Shizuoka is just that: fine, full of character and surprisingly accessible. A tea that combines the knowledge of tea masters with the clarity of a quiet morning - for anyone looking for more than just taste.

Gyokuro - translated as "noble dewdrop" - is one of the highest quality teas in Japan. Unlike conventional Sencha, its leaves grow in the shade for several weeks before they are harvested. The result: an exceptionally high proportion of theanine and chlorophyll. This makes it velvety smooth in the infusion, almost creamy, with elegant umami notes and a deep green cup color that almost glows.

Our Gyokuro comes from the misty hills of Shizuoka Prefecture - a region that has been known for tea cultivation for centuries. The microclimates there favor the slow ripening of the tea leaves, which is reflected in a nuanced aroma profile: soft nutty notes, subtle sweetness, a fresh sea breeze - like a walk through an early morning bamboo forest.

It is ideal as a daily companion for conscious moments in between, but also unfolds its complex depth in concentrated tea - perfect for anyone who likes to explore rather than just consume. If matcha is sometimes too intense for you, but sencha is too straightforward: this Gyokuro is the golden mean.
