  • GYOKURO - IRRESISTIBLE CHARMS: is a premium shade-grown Japanese green tea with a high concentration of rich umami flavor. While sencha is usually grown under the full sun, Gyokuro is shielded from the sun, for 20 days Gyokuro is processed like sencha with the many possible variables that can be adjusted, the most important being the steaming time. A light (short) steaming time allows the farmer to maintain the shape of the leaf, this results in long perfectly shaped needles when rolled
  • COLOR AND APPEARANCE OF GYOKURO: Gyokuro tea leaves are a deeper green than those of sencha. This strong color is due to the chlorophyll in the leaves. The leaves produce a lot of chlorophyll as they try to photosynthesize efficiently with only a small amount of light by cultivating in the shade. Also, Gyokuro tea leaves that are long and narrow are considered to be of the highest quality. The neatly arranged, long, and narrow leaves give the tea the appearance of being a high-quality tea.

Product Description

Otsuka Green Tea Co.,Ltd

Otsuka Green Tea Co., based in Shizuoka, Japan, is one of the country’s most renowned tea producers. Celebrated for its award-winning quality, the company combines traditional Japanese tea craftsmanship with sustainable farming methods to create premium green teas, including Sencha, Gyokuro and Matcha, known for their rich umami flavor, vibrant color, and smooth taste.

Gyokuro Green Tea

Gyokuro is a finest Japanese green tea known for its rich umami flavor and vibrant green color. Unlike regular green tea like sencha, Gyokuro is grown in the shade for about 20 days before harvest, which increases chlorophyll in the leaves and gives the tea its deep green hue and smooth, sweet taste. The leaves are carefully steamed and rolled into long, narrow shapes, which are a sign of good quality tea.

Gyokuro from Shizuoka

Gyokuro Green Tea is grown in the Nissaka area of Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, a region renowned for producing premium green teas. The area’s fertile soil and ideal climate help make Shizuoka Japan’s leading green tea-producing region, ensuring each leaf delivers exceptional flavor and quality.

Select Shade-Grown Gyokuro

Gyokuro Green Tea is prized for its naturally sweet, rich umami flavor and delicate, refreshing aroma. The tea leaves are shade-grown for approximately three weeks before harvest, a process that increases chlorophyll levels, deepens the leaf color, enhances sweetness, reduces bitterness, and intensifies umami. The leaves are typically long, thin, needle-like, and glossy, reflecting the care and precision of traditional Japanese cultivation.

Gyokuro Green Tea

The tea has a clear and delicate light yellowish color. It offers a strong yet subtle aroma, with a thick, rich flavor that is both sweet and full-bodied.
