Description
About the Producer
Storage & Care

This exceptional gyokuro comes from Yame, the region most revered for producing Japan's finest shaded green teas. Yame gyokuro is celebrated for its deep umami, natural sweetness and velvety body, qualities shaped by a misty climate, mineral-rich soils and generations of skilled craftsmanship.

Produced as a true Hon Gyokuro, the tea bushes are shaded beneath traditional rice straw for several weeks before harvest. This meticulous method increases amino acids, enhances sweetness and umami, and creates an exceptionally smooth, balanced cup.

The infusion is rich and silky, with fresh vegetal notes giving way to elegant layers of seaweed and kombu, followed by a long, clean umami finish.

Meaning "jade dew", gyokuro is Japan's most prestigious loose-leaf green tea. Naturally rich in L-theanine and antioxidants, it offers calm, focused energy alongside remarkable depth of flavour. Keiko Uchida's Yame Gyokuro is a beautiful expression of place, tradition and craftsmanship.

How to Prepare Gyokuro

Add 3g of gyokuro leaves to a kyusu (Japanese teapot).
Add 60ml of water at around 50–60°C.
Allow the tea to infuse for around 90 seconds to 120 seconds, then pour evenly into cups. Be sure to empty the teapot completely.
The same leaves can be used for 2–3 infusions. For the second infusion, use slightly hotter water and steep briefly for 10 seconds.
