Preparation tips
GRAND CRU – Premium green tea from Japan
Bag of 50 or 100 grams.
Gyokuro is a special green tea variety. It is one of the best teas in Japan. Its production technique allows for more amino acids to be extracted, such as theanine, which gives the tea a better taste and removes the catechin, which gives the tea a "harsh" taste.
It is harvested only once a year: at the beginning of May. This is why it is naturally one of the favorites of our spring season. It is simply in its element in our Japanese spring universe.
Also very rich in caffeine, it has energizing properties . We advise you to consume this tea in the morning.
Very mild, sweet, fresh and iodized taste. Buttery texture.
Hand-picked at the beginning of spring, Gyokuro is Japan's finest tea. Its name means "Pearl of Dew".
🌱 What is green tea?
Green tea and black tea come from the same plant: the tea plant (camellia sinensis or camellia assamica). But the fundamental difference between them is their manufacturing method. That is to say, the transformations that the tea leaves undergo after they are picked. Indeed, black tea will undergo prolonged oxidation (which will give it its dark color) while green tea will be almost immediately "cooked" with steam or in a wok after it is picked in order to stop its oxidation, making it keep its original green color.
🍵 How to prepare your green tea properly
More fragile than black teas, they must be prepared in water at a maximum of 75°C. Water that has boiled risks "burning" the tea leaves and altering their flavors. Allow 2 grams of tea for 10 centiliters of water and let it infuse for 2 to 3 minutes.
❄️ Cold infusion
Put 10 to 20g of tea in 1L of cold or room temperature water. Divide into two disposable tea bags Le Jardin de Mademoiselle. Iced tea is not an exact science: the colder the water and the larger the container, the slower the tea will infuse. Taste at 20 minutes and then every 5 minutes until the taste of your tea suits you perfectly. Keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
