Tamaryokucha Coiled Jewel Green Tea

This Japanese green tea hails from the misty Kirishima region of Kagoshima, where volcanic soil imparts distinctive character to every leaf. Pan-roasted to perfection, it unfolds with a tangy, berry-like profile — bright citrus notes dance alongside hints of grass and dark berries, finishing with a subtle almond warmth.

The leaves curl into their signature comma-like shape, earning the name "Tamaryokucha" — jewelled, coiled balls of green tea. Each steep reveals the terror of Japan's southernmost tea-growing island, a place where fog and soil combine to create something truly special. Also known as Guri Cha, after a beloved Japanese decorative pattern, this is tea with both character and craft.
