Gyokuro Asahi is a Japanese rarity of the top class, which is also called “Dew of a Pearl” or “Most Exquisite Dew Drop”. The tea shrubs grow in the shade of broad-leafed trees and are covered with bamboo mats two weeks before plucking. The fine, regular leaf has a deep green, slightly shining colour and gives off a noble, strong flavour with a hint of sweetness; an impressive mixture of tender mildness and the typical Japanese tanginess. The leaves may be brewed two to three times, with a slightly longer brewing time.

Why Japanese Gyokuro is so expensive?
1. Shade-grown for ~3 weeks before harvest, boosting sweetness and umami.
2.Labor-intensive – hand-picked and carefully processed.
3.Limited in quantity, often from specific regions like Uji or Yame.
4.Highly prized for its deep, mellow flavor and rich amino acids (like L-theanine).
It’s essentially the champagne of Japanese green tea — rare, refined, and meticulously crafted.
