Shaded Japanese Elegance with Metropolitan Tea Organic Gyokuro Tea

The Metropolitan Tea Organic Gyokuro Tea is a premium Japanese green tea crafted from tender leaves grown under shade before harvesting. This traditional technique encourages rich green character, producing a fragrant cup with pleasant pungency, impressive depth, and a lingering finish.

Harvested in Kagoshima Prefecture during the prized spring season, the delicate leaves are gently bruised and lightly steamed to preserve their distinctive character. The result is a bright forest-green infusion with a full-bodied yet refined green tea profile.
