Gyokuro Green Tea

Loose Leaf Green Tea

Gyokuro is treasured in Japan as one the finest green teas. Gyokuro is different from most sencha green teas because it's grown in the shade as opposed to sunlight. This deprivation of sunlight increases chlorophyll and amino acid content, leading to the tea's distinctive deep green color and rich, complex taste. Known in Japan as "Precious Dew", this distinctive green tea is rich with a sweet, umami-filled flavor profile that leaves you with a velvety mouth-feel. A wonderful choice for serious tea enthusiasts.
