AOI Tea Company Gyokuro is the finest of Japanese teas and the pinnacle of organic Japanese Green tea.  Gyokuro is translated as “Jade Dew” and with good reason! The Gyokuro bushes are covered in order to shade them for two weeks before they are harvested, which serves to bring forth a light but delightfully complex blend. The beautiful lush dark green color is brought about due to the shading of the tea before harvest, which allows it to retain chlorophyll. This concentrates a much fuller body and brings even more of the rich vegetal green tea taste. Most describe Gyokuro as a smooth and light green tea with a sweet and nutty ending.  Gyokuro is significantly less bitter and smoother than our Organic Sencha. It does, however, have a complex layer that rises up throughout the experience.  All in all, Gyokuro is simply a harmonious infusion that serves to reveal the full breadth of the tea leaf.

Our AOI Tea Company Organic Sencha is some of the finest green tea on the planet, manufactured directly at the AOI Tea Company in Japan.  Hand picked & steamed, we guarantee the freshness of our tea and know that you will enjoy the aroma and smooth taste.

AOI Tea Company Sencha is the most common form of Japanese green tea. Sencha has a delicate sweetness in taste and possesses a yellowish hint when it is consumed in a liquid form. The word sencha means, “decocted tea”, referring to the method that the tea beverage is made from using the dried tea leaves. Sencha is consumed by itself or can be a part of a blend with other healthy additives like konacha and matcha. Sencha has a classic “green” flavor, that is perfect for a cup in the morning to get your day started, or in the evening when you are trying to relax.  At the AOI Tea Company our sencha comes directly from our fields and is manufactured on-site to ensure that you are receiving the freshest, highest quality sencha when you purchase from us.
