Product Details Gyokuro (literally translates as jade dew) is considered to be one of the highest grades of green tea in Japan. It has a dark green color, and when brewed it is slightly sweet, with a refreshing aroma.

Chiran is the name of the tea produced in Minami-Kyushu city, the southern-most city of Kyushu Island in Japan.

Chiran is a regular winner of the "Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries award" in Japan's Annual National Tea Competition.

It has won a whopping more than 30 times in the past. By doing so, it has established itself as a brand for having one of the best quality tea in Japan.

The secret to the quality is said to be the naturally gifted fertile soil. The ashes from Sakurajima, a nearby active volcano, are said to gift suitable land for tea to grow.

About Me I was born and raised in Japan and have been drinking green tea every day.

Green tea is part of my life. So I know really good Japanese green tea.

For about 10 years after I came to New Zealand, I was looking for a high quality green tea like the ones I enjoyed in Japan, but I couldn't find anything that satisfied me, so I decided to import it myself directly from Japan.

I decided to sell it because I wanted people in New Zealand to enjoy really delicious Japanese green tea.

My teas are the best quality I could find - if there was a better one, then I would be selling that one.
