Gyokuro Tea Bags

$48.00

Gyokuro is one of Japan’s finest green teas, prized for its deep flavour and full-bodied texture. Our Gyokuro is only harvested once a year after being shaded for 30 days. This labour-intensive cultivation method enhances its umami flavour.

Each tea bag contains full leaves sourced directly from the farmer, sealed in pyramid sachets. At Komeru, we use whole leaves, not tea dust, ensuring authentic flavor in every cup.
