Gyokuro sits on a royal throne amongst elite green teas. It is only picked during the April/May peak season, and the leaves are carefully shaded to produce its distinct dark green color. Our Gyokuro green tea is from a small batch production, sourced directly from Japan. It brews a vivid emerald infusion full of smooth 'umami' flavor. Fresh and vegetal, once you try Gyokuro you won't look back.
For best results, use water at 140-160 degrees. This will prevent bitterness and allow full flavor enjoyment.
For the best tasting cup we recommend the following:
8 fl oz
140° F
1 tbsp
3-5 minutes
This Gyokuro is widely praised for its smooth, umami-rich, grassy/vegetal flavor with buttery and mildly marine notes—many customers call it their favorite and say it tastes authentically Japanese and good value. Brew gently (low temperature, short steep; many prefer the second infusion) to avoid bitterness; a few buyers report occasional broken leaves, sediment/sludge, or inconsistent quality after supplier changes.
