I blended about 2 cups of small, very sweet wild Québec strawberries with the juice of a lime, and added a bunch of ice. I then poured the iced gyokuro into it, and topped with a sprig of basil from the balcony garden.

Gyokuro packs a lot of caffeine per gramme, so I've been sipping this slowly and adding a lot of ice cubes, but this concoction is absolutely delicious. I'm absolutely going to do this again.

Found the recipe here: camellia-sinensis.com/fr/blogu

A rare treat today to sustain my brain through this horrifying heat! I made an iced tea smoothie treat for myself.

Last night, I took 10 grammes of gyokuro and cold brewed it into a litre of water, which I then stuck into the fridge overnight.

The resulting gyokuro was light and delicious, it took all my self control to not drink it immediately this morning, but I had other plans...

On my kitchen counter, my little smoothie maker is full of strawberries, there is a sliced lime hanging out, and a gorgeous pitcher of cold gyokuro iced tea.

When the temperature hits 35 Celsius, I still drink tea. I just switch out the kettle for ice cubes. Gyokuro, kukicha, and hojicha are particularly delicious brewed on ice. The cold water pulls out all the sweetness and there is almost no bitterness.

Pictured is some gyokuro on ice brewing in a shiboridashi. I like to put a ton of gyokuro (like... an obscene amount) and let the icecubes melt, and I'll add a tiny little bit of cold water periodically to tease out all the cold sweetness.

The corner of my desk on an unbearably hot day. In a shiboridashi is a lot of green gyokuro leaves, and big ice cubes. Delicious.

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.

In a corner of my desk, amongst orchids and succulents and a very stubborn basil plant, I have a small tea tray with a little ceramic cup and a little ceramic tea vessel called a shiboridashi which is similar in style to the Chinese Gaiwan, but very flat. It's meant for brewing a lot of tea to small quantities of water.

Drinking a wulong in a style I don’t often try this afternoon as I catch up on my correspondence! This is a toasty roasted wulong from Taiwan (Qing Xing cultivar) and it’s very toasty, almost malty. The aroma after the first steep reminds me a lot of caramel and toast and squash and berry jelly (I swear it makes sense when smelling/tasting!) and mellows out beautifully afterwards, very balanced between the roasted and sweet notes.

I tend to like very flowery and light wulongs, so the fact that this one is so tasty to me is very surprising and fun. Also, perfect for a very cold January day.
