David’s favourite.

It’s no surprise that David steeps a pot of this beautiful Ashikubo green each morning. With soft notes of fruits and an almost buttery undertone, this is one of the most prized teas in our collection.

Starting at 30 seconds, try resteeping this tea in 30 second intervals to optimize the experience. Each additional infusion brings forth an array of new scents and flavours, making it the perfect tea to begin experimenting with reinfusion.

Definitely a must have in any collection.
