In health benefits, in bold savory flavor, in grassy and sprite aroma, and perhaps most keenly the rich emerald hue.

A tantalizing hint of fresh grass

This tea has become my morning staple. Depending on how long one brews it for, it develops a gorgeous green sheen that matches the depth of the slightly grassy and slightly earthy but stils somewhat sweet tones of the tea. Highly recommend it.

Gyokuro

Greenest loose leaf green tea I’ve seen!

Beautiful from the measuring spoon to the teapot.

This Gyokuro is mild and invites one to linger over each sip! Lovely! I hope to order more!

delicious robust sweet flavor

This is my favorite gyokuro tea. Smells divine right out of the bag. Brews up nicely, nice color lots of flavor. I steep it at about 135° for two minutes and 45 seconds which gives a lovely rich and sweet flavor. I brew 3 cups in my kyusu with 1 tablespoon of gyokuro. Try it!
