Gyokuro Kabuse

A refined shaded green tea from Fukuoka and Mie—silky, umami-rich, and perfectly balanced between clarity and creaminess.

A beautiful blend of Gyokuro richness and sencha brightness, it offers a delicately briny, nutty profile with fresh green complexity—an accessible introduction to Japan’s shaded tea tradition.
