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!
