Gyokuro, Organic

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.*

Heart Health: The flavonoids in Gyokuro can benefit heart health by improving cholesterol levels and blood pressure.*

Organic Japanese Gyokuro

I have cancer, and have been reading furiously for good foods and teas to use. This tea was highly recommended as one of the best green tea for cancer. I make a cup of this every morning (1 heaping teaspoon and steep for 10 mins per my cancer book) before I eat about 2 hours later. I love it so much- very earthy unique flavor that I now crave, and I can't wait to get out bed to enjoy. It's true food as medicine.

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).

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.

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
