The Story of Gyokuro-Japanese Green Tea:
Gyokuro (玉露), meaning "jade dew" in Japanese, represents the pinnacle of Japanese tea craftsmanship. Our authentic Gyokuro is grown in Uji, Kyoto—Japan's most prestigious tea region with centuries of tea-making heritage.
What makes Gyokuro extraordinary is its distinctive cultivation method. For 20-30 days before harvest, the tea plants are meticulously shaded under special coverings, reducing sunlight by up to 90%. This careful shading process triggers the leaves to produce more chlorophyll and amino acids while reducing catechins, resulting in the tea's signature emerald-green color, intense umami flavor, and reduced astringency.
Harvested during the first flush (Ichiban-cha) when the leaves are at their most tender, our Uji Gyokuro delivers the authentic experience of Japan's most luxurious tea tradition.

from 91 reviewsI have not received my tea!!!!
I absolutely the Jasmine Dragon Pearls/ Buddhas Tears. I have a very sensitive tummy and often struggle to unwind after a long workday.With this amazing tea , it’s such so tasteful and light and ooh so refreshing and relaxing. I’ve tried so many different teas but this is my all time favourite.
This is probably one of my favourite teas, so delicious!
Good quality product but the container cover needs improvement., easily loose and not air tight .
I'd never thought to combine Puerh with lavender, but this makes for a very soothing flavour combination. The calming lavender and earthy puerh feels very 'Tasmanian'. I'm looking forward to trying more teas here.
Such a lovely, sweet, smooth tea.

Dong Ding Oolong is one of my go-to teas when working long hours in the clinic. It gives me a lovely little lift and brightens my mind so I can be a better practitioner. It has beautiful floral aromatic tones and such a clean finish. I love to drink this tea in my Gaiwan tea pots! Moment of Tea are the best!
I tried this tea at the Salamanca Market's earlier this year and absolutely fell in love, slowly worked my way through the tin I bought over the past few months and have finally ordered a replacement. Absolutely going to keep coming back as I drink this at least a few times every week!
