For all those who not only drink matcha, but want to experience it: Gyokujou is the deepest expression of the Morimoto signature
.
This high-quality drinking-grade matcha comes from the purest craftsmanship and genuine dedication - directly from the Morimoto family in Miyazaki, on the southernmost main island of Japan. Here, where subtropical climate and traditional tea culture meet, the Bio Morimoto Matcha Gyokujou was composed from the most delicate leaves of the Oku Midori variety - carefully shaded (kabuse) for a full two to three weeks before being ground into a fine, emerald green powder.
The result: a velvety, deep matcha with a distinctly soft body, subtle sweetness and a mild, complex umami flavor. Gyokujou means "most precious jewel" - a name that more than describes this tea. The texture: airy and fine. The color: bright chlorophyll green. The taste: calm, but not shy. Complex, but never overloaded. And harmonious throughout.
Compared to Morimoto Premium Matcha Minami Sayaka, Gyokujou is more classic, more structured and has a noticeably fuller body. Ideal for those who are not just looking for a cup of tea, but a mindful moment of depth.

Special features & origin
Haruyo and Shigeru Morimoto have been lovingly cultivating their own organic tea gardens for over 40 years. From the first small field to the current diversity of twelve plots, their approach has remained the same: respect for nature, variety and sustainable organic craftsmanship. They cultivate seven different tea bush varieties to balance the nuances of flavor and climatic resilience. The Oku Midori variety, from which this Gyokujou is made, is also part of this finely orchestrated concept.
Organic is not a label for the Morimotos - but a silent promise. Not for marketing reasons, but out of conviction. Holistic farming, without pesticides, with a deep understanding of the soil, plants and environment
If you are looking for a matcha for meditative everyday rituals, for a flavor that conveys depth instead of excitement - then you have arrived at Gyokujou. A good choice for quiet mornings, concentrated work or your next culinary excursion into the world of green tea smoothies or matcha lattes with real character.
