Japanese Gyokuro Asahi Green Tea, meaning “Noble Dewdrop,” is one of Japan’s most revered green teas. Carefully shade-grown for over 20 days before harvest, this tea develops an exceptionally high concentration of amino acids, resulting in its signature umami richness and silky mouthfeel.

Gyokuro is not a tea to rush—it invites slow, intentional brewing and mindful enjoyment.

The extended shading process reduces bitterness while increasing L-theanine and chlorophyll. This creates a tea that is both deeply savory and remarkably smooth.

• Deep umami and savory-sweet core
• Fruity undertones
