Considered among Japan’s most prestigious teas, Handpicked Gyokuro is produced from carefully selected leaves that are shaded from sunlight for approximately three weeks before harvest. This traditional cultivation method encourages the accumulation of amino acids, resulting in extraordinary sweetness, umami, and complexity.

Each leaf is meticulously harvested to preserve quality and integrity. The resulting infusion is rich, silky, and profoundly elegant, offering a remarkable concentration of sweet umami balanced by delicate marine freshness. Reserved for special occasions and serious tea appreciation, Handpicked Gyokuro represents the pinnacle of Japanese green tea craftsmanship.
