In the Know
Gyokuro Green Tea is known as one of the world's most precious and majestic Japanese green tea varieties. Also known as “jade dew," and harvested once a year in the springtime, it's the shading that defines the character of this tea. By lessening the photosynthesis process, its chlorophyll content increases, which diminishes the tannins, and intensifies its green tint. The result? A sweeter, less astringent tea, and an exquisite, exclusive tea drinking experience.
Interesting Notes About Gyokuro Green Tea
The shading method inhibits photosynthesis in the leaves, which is what provides it with not only a unique flavor, but a unique chemistry as well. In comparison to other teas, due to the growing methods, Gyokuro contains higher amounts of the amino acid L-theanine, as well as caffeine. Gyokuro Green Tea also shares the antioxidants and other nutrients green tea is well known for, making it as valuable for its nutrients as it is for its luxurious taste.
How to Brew a Cup of Gyokuro Green Tea
The recommended way to enjoy a cup of Gyokuro Tea is to make sure the water never reaches a boil; 122°-140° at most. Cover and steep for only 1.5 – 3 minutes.

Bleach-Free Tea Bags
Our tea bags may not be the whitest, but they ARE the safest because Buddha Teas ONLY uses bleach-free teas bags. For us, this is not a preference but a necessity. Tea bags that have been bleached contain harmful chemicals such as dioxin and epichlorohydrin. Dioxin is a highly toxic, chemical compound produced by some chemical processes such as bleaching paper. It falls into the category of a POP (persistent organic pollutant) which, as the name suggests, persists and refuses to breakdown in our bodies and the environment, potentially taking decades to detox. Epichlorohydrin (bleach) is also toxic and listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). It has been classified by the EPA as a human carcinogen.
We believe that our customers should never have to choose between their health and their senses so we proudly offer bleach-free tea bags so that they can taste the purity of natural teas without the cost of harmful chemicals or additives.
