Gyokuro, Organic

$6.50

Size

The name of this sophisticated Japanese tea translates to ‘jade dew’, describing the color of its infusion. Our gyokuro is grown in rich volcanic soil on the south eastern coast of Kyushu, an area known as a leader in organic farming practices. ‘Umami’ in taste and aroma, with a sweet rich finish, the leaves are very fine, needle-shaped and a brilliant dark green color due to being shade grown, which gives gyokuro a higher chlorophyll content than most teas.

Flavor: 

Umami, seaweed, sweetly grassy and rich.

Health Benefits: 

Mental Clarity: The caffeine and L-theanine in this green tea work together to enhance mental alertness and calm, aiding in focus and concentration.*

Antioxidant Powerhouse: High in catechins, powerful antioxidants, Gyokuro helps protect the body from oxidative stress, supporting overall health.*

Metabolic Boost: Green tea is linked to a boost in metabolism, which can be beneficial for weight management, especially when combined with other healthy practices like a balanced diet and regular exercise.*

My most favorite tea

I love Gyokuro and I have been ordering Tea Spot's for a few years now. While I haven't consumed a Gyokuro I have yet to enjoy, Tea Spot's is a nice step above others I have had. It just tastes a bit cleaner and smoother. I'm really not sure what it is about this tea that I love so much. I just know that I just get this immediate sense of calm and relaxation when from the first sip I take. Maybe I am just overtaken by the delicious flavor or maybe it truly has that much L-theanine. I honestly don't know. I just love the flavor and the experience of drinking it, and I am not one who typically cares about the latter. I highly recommend this tea to green tea lovers. Just note that this tea really is brewed best at lower temperatures and for shorter durations of time (I personally use simmering water and brew for just under 2 minutes).

Perfectly warm

This tea is amazing! We swerve your teas to our clients at our design studio and I felt like trying something different from the jasmine pearls I usually order and being cautious I ordered the small sample size packs…. I will be ordering the 1 lb bag tomorrow. I found the tea rich and warm in flavor , the perfect afternoon sipping tea

If I could give it a O I would.

This tea is awful. The smell alone made me not want to drink it but I tried a couple of times . The smell is like a fermented field of grass or something. The taste is flat .

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to review our Gyokuro. We take all feedback to heart and are very sorry that this product wasn't what you were expecting. A member of our customer service team will be in touch shortly via email to see if we can help.

Perfect

This tea has a smooth rich green flavor that I can’t compare with anything else. If you enjoy green teas that have depth and complexity this is a delight for the senses. I’ve only had it as a cold brew so far, I imagine made fresh and hot will also be outstanding. I bought a 1/4 lb knowing only the description, I was not disappointed.
