Yame Gyokuro (JAS-Certified Japanese Organic)

With its lustrous appearance, traditional Yame Gyokuro boasts an exquisite aroma and flavor that cannot be replicated by any other region.

What is Gyokuro?
Gyokuro, meaning “jade dew” is one of Japan’s most prestigious green teas.

Crafted from carefully selected first-flush leaves, it is shaded for 20–30 days before harvest, enhancing amino acids such as L-theanine, reducing astringency, and developing its signature sweetness and deep umami.

Made from select cultivars, Gyokuro reveals a vivid deep green, rich flavor, and a silky texture with subtle oceanic notes.

Its complexity and the precision behind its cultivation place Gyokuro at the pinnacle of Japanese tea.

Why mention "Altitude"?
Just like wine and coffee, the flavor of green tea is greatly influenced by elevation.
At altitudes below 200 meters, tea plants grow too quickly, often resulting in a flat and less refined taste.

At Phenimax, we carefully select only organic tea leaves grown above 200 meters, where the cool mountain air and day-night temperature variations nurture depth, aroma, and natural sweetness.
Experience the unique character of the land and the complex flavor of truly elevated tea in every sip.

Characteristics
A rich, sweet fragrance unfolds with every breath.
The mellow umami, gentle sweetness, and delicate astringency are unique to Yame’s Gyokuro.
In addition to the traditional low-temperature brewing method, you can also savor its elegant aroma through a slow, cold-water infusion known as reicha.
