greetings!
I know Gyokuro it's a "Japanese" Tea but I heard some is grown in China... So I was curious where the Adagio Gyokuro comes from?
thanks!

Gyokuro should be from Japan.
I have seen teas from China being called "Yulu", which is the Chinese pronunciation for Gyokuro (same characters), however, Gyokuro the steamed green tea should be from Japan only.
Other tea can, of course, made in the Gyokuro style, but that doesn't quite make it Gyokuro.
