About This

• Gyokuro is the most sophisticated Japanese tea. It is also one of the most expensive and delicate green teas the world has to offer. The finest tea bushes are fully shaded for at least two weeks before the new tender spring leaves are hand-picked and carefully crafted and dried.
• Through exposure to sunlight theanine is converted to catechins. Shading the tea bushes before plucking helps to retain a large amount of theanine. Theanine is a sweet component and it has a calming and relaxing effect. In contrast, catechins are a bitter component.
• Pantenger Organic Gyokuro is harvested in Kagoshima. This 100% Saemidori cultivar tea has been carefully crafted for the local tea ceremony and it is rarely available outside Japan.
• Pantenger teas are sourced from the most respected tea producers. We ensure we pay the closest attention to the quality of the leaves, which is reflected in the aroma and taste of your tea. We also carry out lab tests for harmful substances, and promote farmers’ and factory employee welfare and sustainable farming.
• Pantenger Organic Gyokuro Tea is supplied in airtight tins to protect the tea from oxidation and moisture. We hope the natural harmony of our tins and the purity of our tea will invite you to take a moment of your day to hold your own tea ceremony and enjoy some quality time.
