Stevia Gyokuro is a rare tea based on gyokuro from Yame in Fukuoka, blended with stevia, a Japanese-grown herb from Hyogo.
The stevia is carefully raised by a herb grower in Miki, Hyogo. It is a herb with a natural, sugar-like sweetness. It is sweet yet has almost no calories, and has drawn attention among women.
The gyokuro comes from Yame in Fukuoka, one of Japan's leading gyokuro regions. It is marked by well-balanced umami and sweetness. Gyokuro is grown in tea gardens shaded from direct sunlight. Covering the garden with straw and other materials raises theanine, the umami compound, and holds back the formation of catechins, which bring astringency, so the tea has little astringency and strong umami and sweetness.
Enjoy a gentle taste unlike anything before, where the umami and sweetness of gyokuro meet the sweetness that only stevia has. It is especially good when the body is tired or stress has built up.
It comes in tea bags, so it is easy to use at home, at work or when you are out.
