This limited edition gyokuro from Yame is crafted by a small family tea garden using traditional shading techniques that deepen flavour and preserve the leaf’s finest qualities. Sourced as a true single origin, it reflects the distinct character of one cultivar grown in a specific terroir, shaped by generations of careful cultivation. Single origin strains of gyokuro and high quality green tea ensure a more specific and homogenous falvour profile. Perfect for the ultimate green tea lover. Handpicked at peak tenderness, each leaf expresses the purity and nuance of its origin.

The infusion is smooth and full-bodied, with rich umami, gentle sweetness, and notes of  oceanic freshness. A lingering, savoury finish invites slow sipping.

Gyokuro stands apart for the precision and patience it requires—shade-growing, selective harvesting, and low yields all contribute to its exceptional depth, softness, and complexity. The result is a tea that feels both refined and deeply satisfying, offering a uniquely immersive drinking experience rooted in its single origin.

How to Brew

How to Make Perfect Gyokuro Tea:

  1. Put the tea leaves in a pot. For 3 servings use 2 tablespoons of tea (about 7-9 g). For 5 servings use 2 full tablespoons of tea (about 11-13 g). Adjust to taste.
  2. Fill up a tea cup to 80% with hot water into 3 small cups (about 60ml each) and let it cool down to a temperature of 60℃-70℃. A lower temperature will produce a milder and rounder taste, while higher temperatures will make the tea taste more sharp. If you enjoy sharp tasting teas, increase the temperature by around 10℃.
  3. Pour the water back into the pot from the 3 cups and wait for one minute. If using a higher temperature, just wait for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour the tea back and forth into the 3 cups to obtain the same taste and concentration. Do not leave any tea in the pot, pour it all out to the last drop.
  5. For a second infusion, use water of a little higher temperature than for the first and let the tea steep for only 10 seconds before pouring it into the cups.
