Harvest: Spring 2026 (Ichibancha)

Cultivar: Samidori / Goko Breeds

Harvesting Method: Handpicked from traditional shaded tea fields  

Liquid: Clear pale green Leaves: Dark green without somberness and glossy on the surface Taste: Elegant with a smoothness that spreads throughout the mouth, a persistent umami taste.

Even if a really excellent green tea is hard to find, we usually always have a small stock of Premium Gyokuro. This one is the best Gyokuro. It is hand-picked from leaves of the Goko and Samidori breeds grown in the Uji Tawara region. One of the reasons for the excellent taste of this tea, besides the fertile soil, is the fact that the leaves are not cut by machine and shaded for 20 to 30 days before harvesting. This tea is a must if you prefer a rich and delicate aroma.
