The Legacy of Gyokuro Masters – Exclusive Presentation and Tea Tasting>>
What makes a gyokuro a true masterpiece? Discover the living legends of Japanese tea culture and explore their teas in an exclusive tasting event. During this guided tasting session, we will prepare award-winning teas from the renowned Asahina gyokuro masters, available only in rare and limited quantities. As you enjoy the tea, you will get an insight into the unique natural features of the Asahina region, the techniques and craftsmanship of gyokuro masters, and the meticulous methods that shape the character of these artisanal teas.
The village of Okabe, near Fujieda City in Shizuoka Prefecture, along the Asahina River, is one of Japan’s three traditional gyokuro-producing regions, alongside Uji in Kyoto and Yame in Fukuoka. The local farmers and gyokuro masters are among Japan’s most revered tea legends.
This event is recommended for connoisseurs of premium Japanese green tea. Admittance: €40

Every tea connoisseur has their own favorite tea. But there is always something new to discover. Each tea has its own special aroma and effect, depending on the respective growing area, the vintage and the type of processing. Find your new favorites in our online shop today! As tea enthusiasts and sommeliers we taste every tea we offer in our shop. To help you in your exploration we aim to present a meaningful description for each tea, as well as our suggestion how best to brew it.
Get to know the world of teas online!
With our tea range you will get to know the most diverse tea regions and tea types. You can simply search for your favourite chinese or japanese green tea, Taiwan oolong or Yunnan puerh tea in our online shop. We also offer you a wide selection of Matcha tea sourced from reputed Japanese producers. Matcha is the ‘greenest green tea’, the only tea drunk whole when dissolved in water. Of course, our tea selection also includes rare and special teas like wuyi oolongs, phoenix mountain dancongs, old white teas, liu bao heicha or award-winning gyokuro teas.
Each tea region has its own characteristic “signature” tea types, such as the Long Jing of Hangzhou, Bai Hao Yinzhen of Fuding, Bi Luo Chun of Jiangsu, Huangshan Maofeng of Anhui, Tie Guan Yin of Anxi, High Mountain Oolong of Alishan and Uji Sencha from Kyoto. But there are also lesser known varieties only produced in small quantities at specific tea mountains or villages. We regularly travel to these remote tea gardens to bring you these specialties, so you will always find something new to try at Flying Bird Tea.
How about a beautiful teaware?
We, at Flying Bird Tea, are passionate about the art of ancient chinese and japanese ceramics. Browse our carefully selected Yixing teapots, Jianshui clay teapots, Celadon gaiwans, or Bizen hohins, Hagi Chawans, and Tokoname Kyusus. But if convenience is more important for you, you will also find modern tea utensils such as kamjove press teapots, travel teasets, simple and ornamented porcelain teacups.
