GYOKURO “JADE DEW” GREEN TEA | SAEMIDORI CULTIVAR | KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN Encourage relaxed alertness with this serene, smooth & aromatic tea. Specialized shade growing boosts L-theanine, an amino acid found to promote calm while improving mental focus & creativity. An excellent low-caffeine alternative to matcha (matcha also contains L-theanine but is high in caffeine). Dark green tea leaves are rolled into a shape reminiscent of pine needles. Sip on its own, or add a pinch to any fave tea to benefit from L-theanine. Our Special Reserve Tea Collection celebrates the art of tea craftsmanship, supports biodiversity, the environment and small scale tea farmers. Requiring great skill to produce, many of the teas in this collection can take a Tea Maker over 10 years to learn and by purchasing these teas you’re helping keep these traditions and unique tea varietals alive and thriving. Exposure to light, heat and air causes flavour loss as well as the nutrient value of tea to decline, so be sure to store this tea in the package it came in. Always reseal tightly after opening. 50g How to maximize the taste & aroma > brew & serve it Chinese Tea Ceremony style in a medium to heavy weight porcelain teapot & cups> sip from a thin, curved lip teacup or gaiwan (lidded teacup)Our teaware is curated by our Tea Master & is available in-store only.
