ABOUT DEN'S TEADen’s Tea is a subsidiary of Japanese tea manufacturer, Shirakata-Denshiro Shoten, Inc. (SDS).

Most of Den’s teas are grown in the prestigious growing regions of Shizuoka prefecture. They are processed and packaged under the direction of SDS. Den’s Tea imports these premium teas directly from Shizuoka into California and, once in California, all teas are placed in a climate-controlled storage facility. Today, Den’s Tea supplies tea to individual customers, cafes, restaurants, a major coffee chain, sweets and ice cream manufacturers, global distributors and grocery stores.

• GYOKURO TEA FROM JAPAN - Gyokuro, Japan's top grade of Japanese Green Tea, is not normally found in homes in Japan. It provides an excellent balance of quality and value. Gyokuro tea bushes are carefully grown in the shade for about three weeks prior to harvesting in order to protect them from sunlight. In so doing, the L-Theanine (amino acid) content of the leaf increases while the tannin does not. Gyokuro has a rich green color, a distinguished aroma and a sweet taste.
• AUTHENTIC JAPANESE GREEN TEA - Our highest quality tea. This is made from only the youngest top part of tea leaves picked by hand and carefully processed into an fine needle. Its super natural sweetness promotes a mellow state of mind. Origin: Asahina, Shizuoka, Harvest: First Flush, Cultivar: Yabukita
• TASTING PROFILE OF GYOKURO - Super sweet and no bitterness. Very strong aroma of green vegetables and a seaweed like flavor.
