How the tea tastes

Praise of Shadows

Our PRAISE OF SHADOWS is a Gyokuro, a premium green tea specialty from Japan. Unlike other teas, it is shaded from direct sunlight three weeks before harvest. This process allows the tea leaves to develop a fine sweetness, grassy notes reminiscent of seaweed or a fresh ocean breeze, and the characteristic umami flavor of Japanese teas.

How to create
the perfect cup of tea

The preparation

Prepare your cup of tea carefully with water that is not boiling hot, as the low temperatures bring out the delicate aromas of green tea.

The journey of our tea
into your cup

The processing

Three weeks before harvesting, the plants are covered with dark nets. This unique growing technique is typical for Japanese tea cultivation giving the leaves a deep green color and developing the complex umami flavor. This makes Gyuokuro one of Japan's most popular teas.

Kagoshima, Japan

The origin of the tea

Located at the southern tip of the Japanese volcanic island of Kyushu, the celebrated tea-growing region of Kagoshima boasts excellent conditions for tea cultivation, with ample rainfall and a warm climate. The region has gained a stellar reputation through its innovative farming techniques and dedication to producing high-quality varieties, especially Gyokuro, Matcha, and Sencha.
