Product Description
Harvested with Love in Japan
Our green tea powders are produced from the highest premium quality Japanese green tea leaves. Our powder is procured in Japanese traditional fashion. Our green teas are grown in fertile sugar cane sweetened soil that provides the distinct flavor and aroma of our famous green teas.
Premium Gyokuro Shaded Imperial Japanese Green Tea
Gyokuro is a special type of green tea shaded from the sun for 20 days with specially made mats which allows the caffeine levels to increase in the leaves, in addition to allowing the amino acids to get stronger, producing a sweeter and stronger flavor. Because of the cultivation process, the leaves have a very particular odor that is impossible to confuse.
Since the leaves are covered for such a long period of time throughout the cultivation process, the tea leaves are dark, creating a dark tea that is almost a mossy green. Its richness in color translates to a richness in taste, as well, with layers of flavors that never overpower one another.
Gyokuro tea (玉露茶) is also known as "jade dew" or "jewel dew tea".

First Crop Matcha Green Tea
Compared with the second and the third harvest, first harvest contains less catechin, which brings less astringency. First crop also has less caffeine, but has more amino acid, which is the prime component of the sweetness and umami element.
