Gyokuro

Gyokuro green tea

Gyokuro is celebrated as the zenith of Japanese green teas, making up less than half a percent of all the green tea produced in Japan. Known as the best Gyokuro green tea, this rare and exquisite variety is renowned for its unique cultivation method. Approximately three weeks before harvest, the tea bushes are covered to block out 90% of sunlight. This intensive shading enhances the tea's flavor and aroma, yielding a deeply rich and smooth experience.

Due to the elaborate care and labor-intensive process involved in its production, Gyokuro is considered a luxury and commands a higher price than other green teas. Brewing Gyokuro is an art in itself, requiring careful attention to water temperature and tea ware preparation to fully appreciate its exceptional qualities.

Please Note on Pricing (2025 Update):
Due to unprecedented global demand, Japan’s matcha supply ran out early in 2024. Because both matcha and gyokuro use shade-grown leaves, much of the gyokuro crop is now being redirected to matcha production. As a result, prices for both have increased 2 to 3 times—and even with these higher prices, we’re being restricted in how much we can purchase. These increases are entirely outside our control. For over 26 years, we’ve worked to keep pricing fair, but the era of matcha and gyokuro being available at anything less than luxury pricing now appears to be over. We appreciate your understanding.
