About Gyokuro Original
Our first steeped tea!
This uniquely Japanese tea is harvested by hand and, like matcha, grown under black netting for about three weeks prior to harvest. This "babying" treatment of shading the delicate leaves produces potent umami -- it's very dashi-like, and there is nothing quite like it.
Combine that intense umami with notes of butter, kelp, edible flowers, and even custard, for a truly rich and heady taste experience. Loads of L-theanine and a higher caffeine content than matcha (about 60mg per serving, versus matcha's 25-30) make it the ideal accompaniment to focused work, reading, and driving.
Meditation after a cup is awfully nice, too.

The outer rim of the saucers is also unglazed clay, creating a lovely contrast. Works well with coffee too!
