I tried a new tea tonight.
Gyokuro (full name: Uji Karigane Gyokuro "Asa-Giri")
Two infusions.
A brewing instruction:

Use 10 grams per 300ml or less of water. Be sure to pre-heat teapot and teacups and brew at 55-60C (131~140F) for 1.5~2 minutes

I didn't follow it though.
10gr??? Even my huge tea strainer would explode. The tea expands quite a lot.
I put 2 heaped tea spoons.
58°C
1.5min
300ml
It didn't impress me. The last sip was sweet, the one with a bit of tea dust from the bottom of the cup
Second infusion was 2min
The flavour was
very similar to Sencha Uji.
I might try 4 heaped tsps one day if I am in a right mood. I think it will be only 5-6 grams.
Fate willing see you tomorrow.
Have many cups and glasses of nice drinks
Till then
