Senbird Premium Gyokuro, Japanese Shade Grown Green Tea - Isshin From Kyoto Japan - Imperial Loose Leaf Green Tea In Airtight Tea Tin (1.76oz/50g)

Q: How many teaspoon (tsp) is needed to brew a cup of tea and How much caffeine is there per cup of tea?

Recommended is approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons for every 8 oz of water but we encourage to experiment with the tea-to-water ratio to match your preference. Gyokuro has approx 140mg caffeine/g, more extracted with higher temp and longer steeping.

Q: How many times can this tea be re-steeped and How many servings or cup of tea can this whole tea tin (50g) make?

You can re-steep it up to 3 times depending on your taste preference. Slightly increase the water temperature with each successive steeping for best results. Get about 30 cups from one tea tin, potentially more since it can be resteeped.

Q: Is there an expiration & manufacture or pick date on the product and does it include the stems?

You can find the best-before date on the kraft paper pouch located inside the airtight tea tin where the tea is packaged. No stems included. Gyokuro consists solely of tea leaves.

Q: Is this tea tested for mycotoxins?

Yes, our teas are tested for mycotoxins, as well as heavy metals, pesticides and radiation. All of our tea is up to the standard certified by Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS).
