This organic tea is the most celebrated of Japan's teas. It is grown in the shade for about twenty days, making it smooth and sweetish with very low tanin. The very youngest, smallest leaves are picked early in the spring and the leaves of the finished tea, once steamed and dried, are straight, pointed and appear a distinct emerald green. The result is a very special, delicate and refined cup. Once the boiled water has cooled a little brew from one and a half to two minutes.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Tea It was difficult to find a good Japanese green tea in the UK(unless you prerared to buy fom Harrod's...) so your website was a pleasant discovery. Excellent (almost addictive!) tea - I was expecting it to contain a bit more moisture as the last Gyokuro I tryed was packed at source and vacuum sealed. Aivaras - Januskevicius
Great Tea Messed the first couple of cups up by brewing too long, once got the hang of it though it has become my favourite tea, refreshing and light taste. Jamie - Manchester
An enjoyable and light green tea from Japan Excellent tea has a very delicate flavour with a hint of a grassy effect. The colour is very pale green and the aroma is subtle. Simon Parton - Worcester
