Japan Gyokuro Organic

The advent of spring heralds this elite "Jade Dew" tea that is entirely produced by hand in the Aichi Prefecture. The emerald leaf takes on a lustrous, splinter-like appearance after being subjected to full shading under trellises for several weeks. Intense chartreuse cup, with rewarding notes of seaweed and honeydew melon. A brief second infusion is possible.

Preparation: One heaping teaspoon per 8oz cup of filtered water, boiled and cooled for approximately 12-13 minutes to 60°C/140°F. Allow to brew 2 minutes.
