Yame Gyokuro Hiryū

Yame Gyokuro “Hiryū” (玉露 飛龍) — Fukuoka, Japan (50g)

Discover the bold elegance of Yame Gyokuro “Hiryū”, a premium shaded green tea from Yame (Fukuoka Prefecture)—a region celebrated for producing some of Japan’s most luxurious gyokuro. “Hiryū” (飛龍), meaning Flying Dragon, reflects this tea’s character: powerful umami depth, a smooth texture, and a long, refined finish that slowly unfolds with each sip.

Gyokuro is grown under shade before harvest, which encourages the leaves to develop a higher concentration of natural amino acids. The result is a cup that feels silky and mellow, with a rich savory sweetness and minimal bitterness. Brewed properly at a lower temperature, “Hiryū” delivers layered notes of sweet greens, gentle seaweed-like umami, and a soft, creamy mouthfeel, followed by a clean aftertaste that lingers beautifully.

This is a tea made for slow moments—when you want something calming yet complex. Enjoy it as a special daily ritual, serve it to guests, or keep it as a premium staple for any Japanese tea lover. For the best experience, use cooler water and short infusions to highlight its signature sweetness and umami.
