An ode to tradition, craftsmanship, and nature’s finest, Tears of the Dragon is a single-origin Gyokuro crafted from the rare Okumidori cultivar. This exceptional tea carries the legacy of Japanese tea innovation, rooted in the 1953 crossing of Yabukita and Shizu-zai16 cultivars, officially registered in 1974.
