The finer grade sibling of our My Fair Lady Shoumei, this tea comes from the same certified organic material and has a healthy overlap in terms of flavour and fragrance. This tea diverges with less emphasis on texture and a more pronounced umami quality, thanks to the higher grade of picking.
This tea exhibits a pleasant floral quality that is crisp and unmuddied, with a nice sweetness that lasts in mouth.
Brewing-wise, these dragon balls can be a bit reluctant to open up. We recommend an extra rinse and/or longer steeps, if you feel the tea is too weak. If you’re not in a rush, allowing the leaves to cool and then continuing with your infusions can help it open a bit easier. Our preference is to brew for 30-60 seconds per infusion all the way through. This still yields plenty of flavour, while the tea just refuses to quit. Fortunately, this tea is also quite resistant to over-brewing, so it fares well brewing grandpa style as well.

LeafSpa Organic TeaThis tea is quite oxidized for a fresh white tea, surely partly as a result of being pressed into balls. These are pretty tight and take a long time to open, it’s definitely not a tea for a quick session. Additionally, it also has a lot of staying power. A great tea for autumn vibes I would say :)
