GABA Gyokuro Five Collection
Experience the full depth and diversity of GABA Gyokuro in this exclusive 5-variety collection.
Each tea in this set reveals a different dimension of shaded cultivation and GABA-enhancing processing — from deep umami to refreshing brightness and creamy smoothness.
This set includes:
• MANTEN (Low Caf) 40g: A rare, beautifully balanced Gyokuro with naturally low caffeine and a soft, deep umami profile.
• ASAHI 50g: Elegant, refined, and lightly sweet — a gentle, premium cultivar.
• TSUYUHIKARI 50g: Bright, fresh, and aromatic; a lively expression of GABA Gyokuro.
• MATSU (Powder) 10 x 1,5g: A smooth, fine-milled powdered GABA Gyokuro — ideal for a wellness ritual.
• KUKI 50g: A stem-rich, comforting variety with a round aroma and light sweetness.
Together, they create a five-part sensory journey through Shizuoka’s shaded tea craftsmanship.

The Gyokuro Brewing Process
-
First Infusion (50-60°C)
The tea’s sweetness and deep umami come to life, creating a smooth and luxurious first sip. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Second Infusion (65-70°C)
The flavours deepen, introducing gentle vegetal notes with subtle savouriness. Steep for 1 minute.
-
Third Infusion (75-80°C)
The final steep reveals a richer, slightly astringent character, finishing with a lasting, satisfying aftertaste. Steep for 30 to 45 seconds.
