Today I'm drinking a kukicha-sencha mix that always makes me smile because, when my friend first ordered it for her tea shoppe, she very kindly asked me to taste it and send her my feedback, so that she could send it back to the producer in Kagoshima (Japan).

It's a perfect tea for a greyish spring day. #tea #sencha #kukicha #cha #chadoraku

Today's morning #tea practice: a brew of Yoshiharu (Uji, Japan) gyokuro in my #shiboridashi. I went all in on this one, about 10 grammes of tea per 90 mL of cool water (50-60 Celsius) in order to draw all the umami and sweet notes. Well-brewed gyokuro reminds me of the sea, and spring. It's a really enjoyable experience.
