Lemon Youkou & Gyokuro Imperial Blend

Green Herbal Blend by Teavana

Lemon Youkou:

Sunshiny spring days inspire this refreshingly bright lemon treat. Radiant rays lift spirits to new horizons as the sweet & sour melange of tart citrus pieces and fragrant marigold petals awaken memories of sun-filled cloudless days. The beautifully crisp and soft lemon zing is excellent hot or served over ice.

Refreshing lemony citrus infusion

Gyokuro Imperial:

The finest of Japanese teas, Gyokuro bushes are covered in shade two weeks before harvesting which creates a light but very complex blend and a luscious deep dark green color. The shading retains chlorophyll, which concentrates both green tea taste and nutrients, making this a healthy, tasty favorite. IMPERIAL RESERVE

Light smooth vegetal green tea taste with a sweet ending, complex layersrise up throughout

I believe I had this blend made for me in one of the Teavana locations the last time I had been in Chicago, which was around mid-April of last year.

Because I’ve been sick all week, I’ve been drinking this all day.

I’m not much of a green tea drinker, but when you’re sick, green tea is great to drink.

The Gyokuro Imperial green tea taste is mild enough to go down easy, but strong enough to keep you alert.

The herbal Lemon Youkou adds a subtle citrus flavor and helps ease the green tea.

I have had this tea with rock sugar, but it is great without as well.
