Uji Gyokuro "Shou-Un" - A high quality first-flush gyokuro from Uji, near Kyoto. Gyokuro is shade grown before harvesting, giving it a greener color and sweeter taste. Once you learn to make it properly, you wil be hooked for life! Make sure to read our brewing instructions, as it is brewed differently than sencha.

I have tasted most of the various Gyokuro's you offer and was surprised that the Shou-un had not been rated yet. I think it is very flavorful and relatively easy to brew compared to some of the others I've tried.

O-Cha.com is an excellent merchant.

Hey Kevin,

I've ordered many different products from O-Cha.com and have blown away! The Sencha and Gyokuro I've tried have been outstanding and at very good prices. I'm always amazed by the fast shipping (about four days from Japan to Canada)!

Will be ordering more very soon!

I must say once again, that the customer service is second to none! I placed my pre-order for the Shiboridash and the Houhin tea sets with accoutrements and as soon as they came in, I received them in no time. Furthermore, the quality, is exceptional as well. I am so glad that I found this site since I am highly into green tea. A wonderful shopping experience.

Thank you so much Kevin!
Richard
