Trân Châu Sương Sớm

I've been swapping my afternoon coffee for this and the low caffeine means I can drink it at 3pm without wrecking my sleep. Steeping it at a lower temp really makes a difference, no bitterness at all, just a clean grassy taste. Three weeks in and it's become my daily ritual.

The delicate leaves unfurl beautifully when I steep them at around 175 degrees, and the brew stays smooth without any bitterness. I've been sipping it in the afternoon as a lighter alternative, and the low caffeine means I'm not wired come evening.

First sip and I'm already hooked—this Fujian green tea steeps up so smooth and mellow, exactly what I wanted for a morning pick-me-up that won't jitter me out. The delicate leaves don't need a scorching hot brew, so it's forgiving for someone who's still learning proper temp control.
