This deep emerald tea is rich, serene, and designed for contemplative sipping—an exquisite experience from leaf to cup.

Origins & Character

Fukuoka & Mie Prefectures, Japan: Mountain mists, cool climate, and nutrient-rich soil shape the unique terroir of this tea. Leaves are shaded under rice-straw tarps (honzu method) for nearly a month, concentrating L-theanine and chlorophyll.

Tasting Notes: Silky and full-bodied, with a buttery finish and hints of sweet corn and muscat. The deep green infusion is savoury and soothing, leaving a soft, lingering sweetness on the palate.

Functional & Wellness Benefits

High in L-Theanine: Promotes focused calm and sustained mental clarity
Rich in Antioxidants: Supports wellness and cellular health
Daily Ritual: A grounding, luxurious tea for quiet reflection or ceremony

Hon Gyokuro is more than a tea—it’s a deeply traditional expression of Japanese tea mastery. Revered for its complexity and gentle energy, it invites you to slow down and savour each nuanced sip. Perfect for thoughtful rituals, gifting, or indulgent everyday luxury.
