Description

Discover the essence of Japan with our YAMASHIRO Uji Gyokuro Tea Bags, a sublime representation of Japan's most esteemed teas. Gyokuro, known for its unparalleled depth, is cultivated in the sheltered tea gardens of Japan, where each leaf is carefully shaded from the sun to enhance its natural sweetness and rich flavor profile—a treasure not found in the likes of sencha. Our Gyokuro’s exceptional umami is best revealed when delicately brewed at lower temperatures. By steeping the tea slowly in a kyusu pot at approximately 60°C for two minutes, you unlock the profound sweetness and aromatic richness that define this distinguished tea. This meticulous process accentuates Gyokuro’s signature umami and lingering sweet aftertaste, setting it apart from other teas. The rarity of Gyokuro lies not only in its distinctive taste but also in its cultivation. Its production is a labor of love, confined to the revered regions of Uji in Kyoto, Yame in Fukuoka, and Okabe in Shizuoka, accounting for a mere 0.3% of Japan's total tea output. Uji, celebrated as the cradle of Gyokuro, produces tea leaves that are especially sought-after for their historical significance and unparalleled quality. Our tea bags contain genuine Uji Gyokuro, crafted from 100% Kyoto-grown leaves, offering a convenient way to savor this luxurious tea. Each bag invites you to experience the mellow aroma, profound umami, and exquisite sweetness unique to Gyokuro. With YAMASHIRO Uji Gyokuro Tea Bags, the distinguished taste of one of Japan's finest teas is effortlessly within your reach, ready to transport you to the heart of Kyoto with each sip.
