Gyokuro (玉露), meaning “jade dew” in Japanese, is one of Japan’s most luxurious and refined green teas. Revered for its deep umami flavor, sweet aroma, and vibrant green hue, Gyokuro is not just a beverage—it's an experience of craftsmanship, tradition, and taste. Let’s explore what makes Gyokuro so special and why tea connoisseurs around the world seek it out.

Sencha is a steamed green tea made from the first and second flushes of tea leaves harvested in spring and early summer.
