An organic green tea unlike any other, Gyokuro Yamashiro (“Jade Dew”) is shaded for 6-7 weeks prior to plucking, so it’s dark, extra-energizing and extremely rare outside of Japan. We love its tea oil and chlorophyll notes. And its lengthy time out of the sun gives it an intensely rich flavor—think dark, leafy greens mingled with buttery sweetness. So. Good.
What makes it great
A very rare and sought-after tea—only very small quantities are imported from Japan.
Shaded during the final growing period, which increases chlorophyll in the leaves and gives this energizing tea a sweeter, grassier taste and a deeper green liquor.

<span itemprop="description">Organic Gyokuro Yamashiro is a tea I have been drinking for years. Consistently a complex and satisfying cup I always enjoy. This was the first time I hadn't gone into the NYC store for purchase. Speaking with the staff at Davids was something I looked forward to and will miss.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Good tea</span>
<span itemprop="description">I'm not a tea drinker and never have been bit want to start for it's health benefits. I saw reviews of this and figured I try it. It's a nice Rich earthy tea with no after bite like other cheaper green teas. Imo it has the depth of taste like spinach and I love spinach yet it's more delicate than that. So I will drink this one for awhile.</span>

<h2 class="bvseo-question">
I ordered the organic gyokuro yamashiro for the first time, one of the reason I purchased it was because of the high caffeine, but on the package that it came in, the caffeine level says medium. Which is it, high or medium?

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="10437795">
Yes it is medium by on the highest end of medium-regular green tea(Sencha) has 10milligrams of caffeine vs gyokuro 35! &nbsp;You can increase the caffeine amount by using boiling water and steeping it for 3-4min hope this helps!
