  • Description

    Uniquely spring fresh, this tea undergoes a traditional shading process for 30 days, creating an unmistakable and umami-rich infusion that earns Gyokuro the title of Japan’s finest green tea.

    The Asahina Valley of Shizuoka prefecture is an area summed up by its name, which translates as 'tranquil hills'. The Gyokuro produced here combines the quality and excellence that weprioritise and celebrate along with our partner farmers. For thirty days before picking in early May, the leaves are nurtured beneath the shade of dark netting, known as tana. This traditional technique creates an unmistakable, umami-rich character in the tea leaves and is highly prized throughout Japan.
