Okabe (2023)
I’ve been drinking this gyokuro from Camellia Sinensis (Salon) since 2020 (see Okabe 2020).
But it arrived today with some changes to the information I had written down! Here’s the updated table (note the antioxydant and caffeine information inclusion):
| Type | Gyokuro |

A very pleasant, fresh-tasting gyokuro that has marine and vegetal undertones.
