Premier Gyokuro green tea is also known as Jade Dew and it is the highest grade of Japanese green tea you can get. Premier Gyokuro is popular within the green tea community and is well sought after by tea connoisseurs all over the world. Known as a rare Japanese green tea by the way in which it is harvested so that it naturally boost the levels of chlorophyll in the leaf. Gyokuro is produced only from hand-plucked tea grown between March and April when tea bushes flush, pushing up fresh new shoots. This produces a unique, deep, and sweet cup of green tea!

Hot Tea Instructions:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 2-3 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Ice Tea Instructions:
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea or 1 tea bag into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
