The advent of spring heralds this elite “Jade Dew” tea that is entirely produced by hand in a boutique setting 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: 3 g tea leaves (1 level teaspoon) per 8oz cup of filtered water, boiled and cooled to 60°C/140°F. Allow to brew 2min.
