Gyokuro Tenshō From Marukyu koyamaen 40g

Gyokuro "Tenshō"

Tenshō is a premium gyokuro, one of Japan’s most exquisite green teas. Cultivated with meticulous care, the tea plants are shaded from direct sunlight for an extended period before harvest. This technique enhances the tea’s natural umami, sweetness, and depth of flavor, while also developing its signature ooika (a rich, savory aroma unique to shaded teas).

With its deep, matured umami and delicate fragrance, Tenshō offers an unparalleled tea experience that embodies the essence of high-grade gyokuro.

What is Gyokuro?

Gyokuro (玉露) is one of Japan’s finest and most luxurious green teas. Unlike sencha, gyokuro is grown under shade for about 20 to 30 days, which significantly increases its theanine (amino acids) content—the key component responsible for its deep umami and natural sweetness. This shading process also reduces bitterness, resulting in a smooth, rich, and complex flavor.

Enjoy the refined elegance of Tenshō, a masterpiece of Japanese tea craftsmanship, where every sip reveals layers of mellow sweetness and a lingering, umami-packed finish.
