The advent of spring heralds this elite “Jade Dew” tea that is produced entirely by hand in a boutique setting in Japan’s Aichi Prefecture. The emerald leaf takes on a lustrous, splinter-like appearance after being subjected to full shading under trellises for several weeks. It brews an intense chartreuse cup, with rewarding notes of seaweed and honeydew melon. A brief second infusion is possible.
For Hot Tea: Use 1 teaspoon of tea / 16 oz. of water at 160° F for 2 minutes.
For Iced Tea: Use 1 teaspoon of tea / 8 oz. of water at 160° F for 2 minutes / pour over 8oz ice cubes.
For Cold Steeping: Use 1 teaspoon of tea / 16 oz. cold water and let steep in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
