Gyokuro Premium

Gyokuro Tea is considered to be the highest grade of Japanese tea, and is actually put into a category of itself, not to be judged in contests along with other Japanese teas.  The name Gyokuro means “Jade dew”, and is not only farmed differently than Sencha, but prepared and served differently than other Japanese teas.

Premium grade Gyokuro Tea

Our Premium grade Gyokuro, could be considered to be an every day tea, if you consider a 4 star hotel an “every day hotel”.  While maintaining the deep sweetness and mellowness, the body is slightly lighter than of the Pinnacle or Super Premium grade Gyokuro tea that we offer.  Don’t be fooled by the grade though.  This is the light weight champion of Gyokuro, and it packs a punch that lasts all the way through the 3rd infusion.

Sweet Mellowness of Gyokuro

This could be considered an every day tea for those who like the sweet mellowness of Gyokuro, but are not satisfied with the average Gyokuro that you will find in most tea shops.  Highly recommended for drinking with friends and family, and a great introductory Gyokuro for those who are developing a taste for green tea.

Gyokuro Super Premium

Gyokuro Tea is considered to be the highest grade of Japanese tea, and is actually put into a category of itself, not to be judged in contests along with other Japanese teas.  The name Gyokuro means “Jewel dew”, and is not only farmed differently than Sencha, but prepared and served differently than other Japanese teas.

 Our Super Premium grade Gyokuro, although labeled by us as one grade below the pinnacle grade Gyokuro, would be considered Pinnacle grade by anyone else.  In fact, fans of the Super Premium argue that this is actually a superior Gyokuro to the Pinnacle Gyokuro.   Truth be told, this is indeed one of the top teas that Uji has to offer, and is a different kind of magic than our Pinnacle grade Gyokuro.  The tealeaves are hand picked, the color is a bright shade of jade, and the sweet, mellow, and full body.  The burst of flavor from just a single sip is truly addicting.  This tea is limited in production, and is exclusive to Uji.

Although maybe not an everyday tea, this is a Gyokuro that you will simply fall in love with.  Highly recommended as a special treat to yourself or to someone special, or for serving to special guests that you would like to impress.

Gyokuro Pinnacle

Gyokuro Tea is considered to be the highest grade of Japanese tea, and is actually put into a category of itself, not to be judged in contests along with other Japanese teas.  The name Gyokuro means “Jewel dew”, and is not only farmed differently than Sencha, but prepared and served differently than other Japanese teas.

Pinnacle grade Gyokuro Tea

This Pinnacle grade Gyokuro is pure magic.  There is no other way to describe it.  The deep sweetness, the mellowness, the smoothness, the aroma, and the harmony of many, many complex layers of flavor, could simply be considered to be the 8th wonder of the world.  If you are not accustomed to good Gyokuro, a sip of this might be quite a shock.  The tea leaves are hand picked, are in limited supply, and are of the highest quality that Uji has to offer.

This is not an everyday tea, but is, highly recommended for special occasions, as special gifts to Japanese tea lovers, or as a special treat for yourself.

Gyokuro Tea bags

Matabay’s tea bags combine the flavor and aroma of the finest Japanese teas along with the convenience of use of pyramid tea bags, but are not to be confused with any other “green tea tea bags” that you may find on the shelf of a supermarket.  Only the finest of the tea leaves are selected, which are then processed especially for tea bags so that each brew will be perfect.  No need for formal tea ware, and no mess involved.  Perfect for use in the office, for travel, or for when you just want a quick cup of some good green tea.

You may find that tea brewed using our teabags will be far superior to any other green tea you can get locally.  Yes, they are that good.

These tea bags are designed for making hot green tea AND cold tea.  For cold tea, you just put the teabag in a tall glass, pour water, stir the teabag around for 20 to 30 seconds, add some ice cubes, and it is ready.

The Gyokuro tea bags use high grade Uji Gyokuro that focus on the mellowness, sweetness, and aroma of the tea leaves.  Not as strong as some of the other Gyokuro teas, but is perfect for a casual cup of Gyokuro.  If you have never had Gyokuro before, or would rather avoid the high prices of the higher grade Gyokuro’s, this is a great place to start.  This is a high value item, and highly recommended.

Amount: 5g x 15 tea bags
