Weeks of shading protect the tea bushes from too much light, slowing growth and enriching the tea with chlorophyll, the basis for its pleasant floral fragrance.

The elaborate cultivation method gives Gyokuro its very special characteristics in taste but also in its health-promoting effect. Due to the shading, Gyokuro is particularly rich in theanine, the healthy and gentle pick-me-up of green tea. Our tea jewel is characterized by soft, velvety and dark green leaves. The leaf structure is filigree. In the cup bright as the sun with a slight blue tinge.

Tea jewels are valuable but rare
Only small quantities of our rarities are harvested and produced each year. In exchange, they indulge with their exceptional characters and exquisite flavors that have been cultivated and refined over centuries. All rarities are of the finest organic quality. Since only the most tender leaves of the plants are used for our teas, the plucking quantities are very small. All pluckings are done by hand, carefully checked and sorted. To fully enjoy these rare green teas, you should ideally use soft water, filtered if necessary. You can achieve an increase in flavor if you boil the water in a real Japanese kettle and prepare the tea in a Japanese earthenware teapot (Kyusu) according to the instructions.
