1. What is Gyokuro?

Gyokuro is a special green tea that is considered to be of high quality among Japanese teas.
The cultivation method is unique in that the tea fields are covered to block out direct sunlight for about 15 to 20 days before harvest.
This "cover cultivation" method produces the mellow, deep flavor (amino acids) and sweetness that are unique to Gyokuro.
As the name suggests, the beautiful, jewel-like tea leaves and clear, dew-like flavor have captivated many people.

2. The taste and aroma of Gyokuro

Gyokuro is characterized by its harmonious blend of deep umami and subtle sweetness.
Its elegant, rich aroma and smooth taste provide a special experience that cannot be found with any other tea.
They are particular about the brewing method, and by slowly extracting the tea using low-temperature water of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, they are able to bring out the natural flavor of the tea leaves to the fullest.
The satisfaction of a cup of Gyokuro will allow you to experience the true essence of Japanese tea.

3. Gyokuro tea for a special occasion

Gyokuro is the perfect tea for those times when you want to enjoy a little luxury in your daily life or for special occasions when treating someone special.
In order to enjoy the delicate flavors, if you pay attention to the utensils you use, such as the teacups and teapots, you can also enjoy the joy of cherishing the tea time itself.
The higher the quality of the tea leaves, the more exceptional the flavor, so be sure to choose a top-notch Gyokuro tea and enjoy its deep flavor and aroma.
