⛰️ Heritage

Gyokuro, meaning "jewel of the dew," represents less than 0.05% of Japan's annual tea production. This 4th-generation craft—perfected by tea master Sakuya-san—honors centuries of precision: the 21-day shade period elevates chlorophyll and amino acids, transforming the leaf into a meditation of umami and subtle sweetness.
