Gyokuro is the "crown jewel" of Japanese tea, prized for its high concentration of L-theanine, antioxidants, and sweet-savory umami.

The Volcanic Terroir of Kagoshima In the misty, high-altitude highlands of Kirishima, Kagoshima, the farmer who is a pioneer of organic tea, cultivates Gyokuro in mineral-rich volcanic soil. 

Gyokuro, like matcha is shaded before harvest reducing bitterness and astringency and in turn producing high amounts of L-theanine and chlorophyll, giving the tea its signature "umami" and focus-enhancing properties.

This single estate tea is packed with a variety of nutrients, including catechins, theanine, caffeine, saponins, vitamins, polyphenols, potassium, and tannins.

The Three-Steeping Journey

Every serving offers a transformative experience, evolving with each brew:

• 1st Steep (The Umami Bomb): A rich, deep, and balanced sweetness that coats the palate with invigorating flavor.

• 2nd Steep (The Refresh): Brewed warmer, this cup is bright and refreshing while remaining beautifully complex.

• 3rd Steep (The Finish): The hottest and shortest brew—light, crisp, and cleansing. It completes the story, leaving your body feeling nourished and your mind clear.
