An organic green tea unlike any other, Organic Gyokuro Yamashiro (“Jade Dew”) is shaded for 6–7 weeks before harvest, increasing the chlorophyll in the leaves and creating its signature deep green colour and rich, revitalizing character. Only very small quantities of his rare, highly sought-after tea are imported from Japan, making it a true find for green tea lovers. We love its lush tea oil and chlorophyll notes, plus the intensely layered flavour of dark leafy greens and buttery sweetness in every sip. So. Good.

Harper ★★★★★

The deep green color of the leaves is incredible—I've never seen green tea look so vibrant before brewing. The first sip had a rich, almost creamy umami that makes my usual morning tea taste plain in comparison.

Amelia W. ★★★★★

The 6-7 weeks of shading really comes through — the liquor is almost neon green and has that rich, brothy umami I usually only get at a good tea house. I've been steeping it at low temperature and getting three solid infusions out of the same leaves.

Zoe ★★★★★

I brewed this at 140°F like the label suggests and it came out incredibly smooth, almost buttery, with zero bitterness. The deep green color in the cup is honestly striking compared to the regular sencha I used to drink. Worth every penny for a weekend treat.
