⛰️ Heritage

Gyokuro, meaning "jade dew," is Japan's most exquisite shade-grown green tea. For two weeks before harvest, tea plants are shielded from direct sunlight, a meticulous process that elevates theanine production while minimizing catechins. Yame Gyokuro represents the apex of this tradition—acknowledged as Japan's finest.
