Choose a Camellia Sinensis tea and infusion

Choose the tea itself before choosing an infusion approach. A Japanese gyokuro and a Fujian wulong come from different growing and processing contexts. The shop’s Quebec operations do not make either tea Canadian-grown.

What are the two selected teas?

Gyokuro Shizuoka is the Japanese tea linked to the Okabe cooperative. Anxi Tie Guan Yin is the Fujian wulong linked to a named producer. Read the exact current lot and format rather than making a brand-wide growing-origin assumption.

Which brewing directions should I use?

Use the selected tea’s own infusion guidance. Do not transfer one tea’s preparation method to the other solely because both are loose tea; confirm the amount and method on the exact product source.

What needs confirmation at the shop?

Harvest and lot descriptions can change. Confirm the current tea, package and order route, and check shop hours before visiting. The documented Quebec operations are a retail and selection connection, separate from Japan and China growing origins.
