Whittard Tea Gyokuro Loose Leaf 50g

Experience the extraordinary taste of Whittard Tea Gyokuro Loose Leaf. This exceptional Japanese tea produces a vibrant, luminous green infusion that is smooth, sweet, and creamy. Picture the delicate flavor of freshly shelled peas, lightly steamed and coated with melted butter.

It may sound far-fetched, but once you try it, you'll understand why this tea is so special. While the technique of steaming tea originated in China, it has become synonymous with Japan's green tea. Introduced by the Chinese during the Song Dynasty, steamed green tea has captured the hearts of tea lovers in Japan. Our Gyokuro is sourced from Shizuoka, a renowned tea-growing region in Japan. What sets Gyokuro apart is the method of covering the tea bushes with blankets to shield them from light.

This unique cultivation process forces the leaves to store up their nutrients, resulting in the tea's vibrant color and rich, buttery taste. Only a small percentage of Japanese green tea is produced using this method, making it an exclusive and sought-after delicacy. Each leaf is packed with green chlorophyll, giving it a natural neon glow that is both visually stunning and a mark of its exceptional quality. Not only is Gyokuro a feast for the senses, but it also offers potential health benefits.

This tea is reputedly high in amino acids such as L-theanine, known for promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. However, we recommend it primarily for its delicious taste. If you've ever associated green tea with a tannic, bitter brew, prepare to have your preconceptions shattered. Indulge in the richness of Whittard Gyokuro Tea and elevate your tea-drinking experience.

Available in convenient loose leaf form, this tea allows you to savor every sip. Whether you're a tea connoisseur seeking new flavors or simply looking to expand your palate, Whittard's Gyokuro Tea is a truly exceptional choice.
