Finest Premium Quality
Gyokuro
Gyokuro is a high-quality Japanese green tea that is grown in the shade for about 20 to 30 days before harvest. This shading process slows plant growth, increases the chlorophyll and amino acid content, especially L-Theanine, and reduces bitterness, resulting in a sweet, umami-rich flavor. This careful cultivation method makes Gyokuro one of Japan's most noble and expensive teas.
A Tea Delight with Scientific Background
GABA
GABA-Gyokuro is a speciality Gyokuro tea produced through a unique oxidation process in which the tea is exposed to a nitrogen-rich environment. This process increases the content of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a natural amino acid known to calm the nervous system and reduce stress. Our GABA-Gyokuro has the highest theanine and GABA levels of any tea currently on the market. GABA has been shown to have calming and stress-reducing properties.
It is scientifically proven that GABA levels over 350mg per 100g promote restful sleep and have stress-reducing effects.
Ideal Conditions for Premium Green Tea
Shizuoka
The volcanic landscape and proximity to Mount Fuji in the Shizuoka region have a significant impact on the mineral density of the soil. The mineral-rich soil provides tea plants with essential nutrients, resulting in healthy, robust plants and high-quality tea. The green tea produced in this region is renowned for its high antioxidant, vitamin and mineral content, including calcium, magnesium, potassium and manganese. Shizuoka is frequently considered the source of some of the world's finest green tea. The region's optimal growing conditions include a temperate climate, nutrient-rich volcanic soils, hilly topography, and mountain spring water. Mount Fuji, Japan's tallest mountain, also makes a significant contribution by providing protection from extreme weather conditions and a stable water supply through snowmelt and rainfall.
Our tea farm partners in the region combine traditional knowledge and modern innovations to guarantee the highest quality standards. This approach has led to the creation of a green tea that is highly regarded worldwide for its freshness, rich flavour, and health benefits.
Our Innovative Partner
Sustainable Tea Production
Our partner has developed an innovative and environmentally friendly method of tea production that not only improves the quality of the tea but also enhances sustainability in the cultivation process. The distinctive innovation entails cultivating tea beneath solar panels.
Advantages of Solar Panels in Tea Cultivation:
1. Protection from Sunlight
The installed solar panels provide tea plants with protection from direct sunlight. This helps improve the quality of the tea by increasing the amino acid content and reducing bitterness.
2. Generation of Renewable Energy
As the tea plants mature, the solar panels simultaneously generate electricity. This makes the entire cultivation process particularly sustainable, as it utilises renewable energy.

3. Frost Protection
Another advantage of solar panels is the protection they offer to tea leaves from frost, which is particularly important during the colder months. Our partner uses this innovative technology to produce high-quality tea varieties like Matcha and Gyokuro. By combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable cultivation methods, we succeed together in delivering excellent tea while making a positive contribution to environmental protection. Experience the exceptional quality and sustainability of our tea —a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.
