Tealyra Premium Gyokuro Kokyu - Japanese Green Tea for Tea Lovers - 100g

Our Gyokuro Kokyu tea is an exquisite blend of two of the finest teas from Kyoto Prefecture: Ujitawara Gyokuro and Wazuka Kabuse Cha, also known as “shaded tea.” By combining these high-quality varieties, we aim to create a consistently exceptional gyokuro that is accessible to tea lovers around the globe at a stable and affordable price point.

Kabuse Cha is cultivated similarly to Gyokuro, with the key difference being that it is shaded for the final week before harvest. This shading technique enhances the chlorophyll levels in the leaves, resulting in a flavor profile that uniquely straddles the line between Sencha and Gyokuro. The outcome is a tea that balances the grassy notes of its origins with richer umami sweets, culminating in a delightful, lingering finish.

Tealyra, based in Chateauguay, QC, Canada, takes pride in offering this premium tea blend. Our Gyokuro Kokyu is characterized by initial notes that are slightly grassy, leading into a robust umami sweetness that lingers on the palate. With its well-rounded flavor, this tea promises a delightful tasting experience with every sip.

Moreover, our Gyokuro Kokyu is not just a treat for the taste buds; it also boasts a high level of antioxidants, making it a very healthy choice for tea enthusiasts. Offered in a loose-leaf format, it comes neatly packaged in a 3.5 oz (100g) zip lock pouch, ensuring freshness and convenience.

In summary, Gyokuro Kokyu is a remarkable tea that marries the best of both Ujitawara Gyokuro and Wazuka Kabuse Cha. Its unique flavor, health benefits, and accessibility make it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to enjoy the intricate pleasures of Japanese tea culture.
