Gyokuro Kotobuki

Kotobuki is a premium gyokuro made from carefully shaded tea leaves grown in Kyoto, where the plants are covered for 20 days before harvest. This traditional shading technique deepens the tea’s vibrant jade color, enhances its concentrated umami, and elevates its natural sweetness for a bold yet refined brew. The name Kotobuki (寿), meaning “long life” or “celebration,” reflects the tea’s treasured nature. With notes of bold umami, grassy vibrancy, and a clean, savory finish, each sip feels lively, rich, and invigorating. Naturally higher in caffeine and theanine, Gyokuro Kotobuki is perfect for mindful tea sessions, moments of focus, or special occasions.
