The Most Refined Expression of Japanese Tea

Gyokuro is one of Japan’s most refined teas.

Before harvest, the leaves are carefully shaded from sunlight.

Over time, this process develops a deep umami and a naturally smooth sweetness.

Uji Gyokuro, Without Compromise

Among them, Phenimax Uji Gyokuro stands apart:

  • 100% grown in Kyoto Prefecture
  • Never blended with other regions

The Truth About “Uji Tea”

Many teas labeled “Uji” are blended with leaves from other regions.

So even if it says “Uji,” it does not always mean 100% Kyoto-grown.

The PHENIMAX Standard

  • 100% Japan-grown tea only
  • Clearly labeled origin
  • Uji always means 100% Kyoto-grown

Simple standards—yet rarely followed.

Each chosen for its balance, depth, and character.
