"Superior green tea. Strong, rich flavor. My favorite so far." - William B.
Matcha Gyokuro
Top shelf green tea combining first flush
matcha with gyokuro for the most vivid
emerald green infusion and lush umami flavor
About this tea
Inspired by the popularity of our Matcha Super Green tea (first flush matcha blended with first and second flush sencha) we developed a super-premium version with organic gyokuro. Whereas Matcha Super Green highlights the fresh bittersweet character of sencha, Matcha Gyokuro has a smoother profile that delivers a rich concentration of umami and a silky, creamy finish unlike any other green tea we've ever formulated. L-theanine lovers rejoice!

Origin
Kagoshima
Kyushu Island, Japan
Kagoshima Prefecture is located at the southwest tip of Kyushu (the third largest island of Japan) and is largely mountainous and home to important lumber, fishing and agriculture industries. Much like the rest of Japan, this region has well manicured tea gardens with well-developed irrigation, and farmers follow strict growing procedures to produce this perfect tea bush shape and size.
