Gyokuro Green Matcha

Made from the same carefully shade-grown leaves used to produce Japan's celebrated Gyokuro green tea, this premium matcha powder is made to preserves Gyokuro's remarkable character. The extended shading process naturally develops abundant L-theanine and polyphenols. Enjoy the sophisicated flavor that results from the shading process - rich umami, natural sweetness, and a smooth finish. 

Expect a velvety cup with fresh grassy notes, delicate floral undertones, gentle sweetness, and a rich umami finish. Smooth, refined, and beautifully balanced, this matcha showcases the elegance of one of Japan's most revered tea traditions.

Tea Expert Note: Every tea cultivar expresses itself differently. Our Gyokuro Matcha is produced from a distinctive shade-grown cultivar that naturally yields a deeper green powder than many matchas on the market. Color alone is not an indicator of quality—cultivar, shading, harvest, and craftsmanship all influence a matcha's appearance, aroma, and flavor.

Best enjoyed as:

• Usucha (Thin Tea): Whisked with hot water to highlight its vibrant sweetness and silky umami.
• Koicha (Thick Tea): Prepared with less water for a richer, more concentrated expression of its creamy texture and lingering depth.
