A fierce commitment to two ingredients

Gyokuro and water. When the materials are exceptional, little needs to be added and simplicity becomes the ultimate form of elegance. We are uncompromising in this devotion and each batch undergoes a patient extraction process to experience the purity of the leaves with no distractions.

<p>Gyokuro is the only tea in the world whose identity and character are entirely Japanese. It grows in the dark which concentrates amino acids for deep umami, and creates a tender cell structure. Only the most vibrant leaves from the tea plant are destined for drinking, and we harvest the top two young buds once per year, during spring. </p>

One extraordinary plant

Gyokuro is the only tea in the world whose identity and character are entirely Japanese. It grows in the dark which concentrates amino acids for deep umami, and creates a tender cell structure. Only the most vibrant leaves from the tea plant are destined for drinking, and we harvest the top two young buds once per year, during spring. 

<p>In place of synthetic stabilizers and pesticides, we amplify and invest in nature’s own defenses. Our soils, enriched over centuries with phosphorus-rich minerals, sustain leaves of remarkable vitality. We don’t stop here. Every year we test and certify our farms whose craft produces the teas that shape our expressions — and teas that naturally preserve themselves. Rich in antimicrobial qualities, Gyokuro safeguards its own integrity, remaining alive, vibrant, and pure. </p>

<p>Circadian only selects leaves that grew in the shade for three to four weeks before harvest. In response to the absence of light, Gyokuro leaves release more chlorophyll and retain more amino acids while decreasing bitterness. </p>

The role of shading

Circadian only selects leaves that grew in the shade for three to four weeks before harvest. In response to the absence of light, Gyokuro leaves release more chlorophyll and retain more amino acids while decreasing bitterness. 

<p>It takes no less than twelve steps to reach a harmonious dialogue between the character of the plant and the signature of Circadian. Our engineering allows time to reveal what speed conceals — precisely designed for the tender Gyokuro leaves to showcase a flawless equilibrium — generous aroma, silky umami, and a compelling aftertaste.</p>
