Gyokuro
"The world's finest green tea they said. It truly is. Grown under shade makes it higher in caffeine but it slow releases. Perfect for keeping me alert on nightshift for 12 hours and drinking it is sublime."

One of the most luxurious sips a tea drinker can experience, Gyokuro Tea (also known as Dewdrop tea) is an exquisite green tea with fresh and grassy tasting notes and a crisp algal aroma. Gyokuro is no commonplace tea and is best reserved for special occasions. Typically harvested in Spring, this tea features a darker brew and earthier flavour than other green teas.
Gyokuro Tea is best enjoyed at Yum Cha, celebrating the Lunar New Year with family. This tea is perfect as is - the delicate flavours in this brew may be marred by the addition of milk and sweeteners.

"I find brewing at 60*C brings out more umami, seaweed notes that you don't get with 80*C brew. Honestly my new favourite tea I can't get enough of it"
