A Quiet Moment as a Gift – Choosing Gyokuro
Hello everyone, this is Keko from the online team 😊
Choosing a gift for someone you care about
always brings a certain stillness.
You pause to think—
What would make them smile?
What might bring them comfort?
Recently, while looking for a gift,
gyokuro quietly came to mind.
Gyokuro isn’t just a “luxury tea.”
It doesn’t shine with bold flavors or bright colors.
Rather, it’s a gift of gentleness and stillness.
For someone who’s tired,
someone doing their best without saying so—
Gyokuro whispers,
“Take your time. Breathe a little.”
The act of giving gyokuro somehow slows you down, too.
You wrap it carefully.
You speak softly when handing it over.
It’s as if the tea invites you
to treat both yourself and others more gently.
To me, a gift is often not an object,
but a small portion of time.
A moment when you don’t have to do anything.
Gyokuro delivers that kind of time.
A pause.
A quiet gesture of care.
And perhaps, when you share gyokuro,
you’re really saying,
“You deserve this quiet.”
