Senbird Premium Gyokuro — Kyoto Shade-Grown Japanese Green Tea, Imperial Loose Leaf in Airtight Tin (50g)

Discover Senbird Premium Gyokuro

Senbird Premium Gyokuro is a prized shade-grown green tea sourced from select tea farms in Kyoto, Japan. This Imperial loose-leaf tea centers on the rare Asatsuyu cultivar, known for its sweeter, milder profile and less astringency than typical greens. In the cup, you’ll notice a velvety texture and a refined sweetness that lingers with a gentle grassy undertone. The shade-grown method gently ramps up the tea’s natural umami, producing a balanced, nuanced flavor that pairs with morning routines or quiet afternoon moments.
