Man. Gyokuro tea is fascinating. I cannot stomach it at the full strength (yet) at which it should be brewed (ie 8g/50ml/120-180sec), but I really really love the aftertaste.

So I tweaked it a bit: 5g/120ml/120sec and this way the first sip is much much smoother, but the epic aftertaste still remains.

The aftertaste lasts many hours for me and even survives brushing teeth 🤯

Apparently this tea has more caffeine than coffee, but doesn't cause any jitters for me and also does not cause any crash after the high.
