An organic green tea unlike any other, Organic Gyokuro Yamashiro (“Jade Dew”) is shaded for 6–7 weeks before harvest, increasing the chlorophyll in the leaves and creating its signature deep green colour and rich, revitalizing character. Only very small quantities of his rare, highly sought-after tea are imported from Japan, making it a true find for green tea lovers. We love its lush tea oil and chlorophyll notes, plus the intensely layered flavour of dark leafy greens and buttery sweetness in every sip. So. Good.
Richly oceanic and umami flavour with nutty notes of roasted chestnuts and buttered popcorn. Increased chlorophyll in the leaves give this tea a sweeter, grassier taste and a deeper green liquor.
Organic steamed green tea from Kagoshima, Japan.

Bonjour,
Je déguste ce thé depuis plusieurs années et je l'apprécie à chaque fois. J'aime particulièrement les thés japonais biologiques et de qualité pour ma santé...

This tea was amazing and consistent for at least a decade and suddenly (at least if you order online) it doesn’t seem to be good or fresh at all, almost like it went bad rather than just stale. Maybe there’s a bad batch at one location they are shipping from . Too bad as it was such a special tea with amazing flavour and Theanine which feel to be absent now.

Tasty and focusing
I bought this after reading that the l-theanine in Japanese green tea like this can be calming and also focusing. It's very tasty and I found it a great way to start my mornings.
Stainless steel tea strainer
I finally received my stainless steel tea strainer but they put a company sticker on the bottom which left very sticky glue residue on the strainer . I soaked it for hours and not coming off . I don't want to drink my tea with glue residue in it

organic you're Yamashito tea
I purchased this tea after reading reviews of the boost the caffeine gave one. i've used Sakamotos teas ( since discontinued) which gave a great boost of clarity without the coffee rush. with only 2 pinches at 140 degrees F it was a revelation. With David's tea, I did not experience the same clarity. So I was a bit disappointed.

I placed a order for this tea on Oct 26th, 2025. My order total $105. DavidsTea has charge me for this order but not send me my tea. I have contact them several times and they have done nothing. They have not send me anything or offer to refund me since no package was sent.
Gift
My son loves the tea. I gifted him. I ordered the. Gyokuro and his favorite oolong. Your teas are of such high-quality and we really enjoy them. It was a bit of a wait getting my order through customs, but that's not your fault. We are stuck with a crazy president.
Tastes fantastic, and expands quite a bit once the water hits it! You really only need a little less than a teaspoon and I use the same batch for three separate cups. So while it is expensive for the amount you get, it goes a long long way!
