Den’s Tea Gyokuro Suimei Review Soon

So the refrigerator the gyokuro was sitting in was fine until food started flooding it. It’s not good to keep teas near other goods that have strong aromas so I had to remove it. After letting it get into room temperature, I opened the gyokuro package and put it into an air-tight canister. Now remember, this was supposed to be saved for my girlfriend, but because it is not refrigerated anymore, forcing me to open it and store it, I’m going to give it a test before it goes into a shaded/cool area in my room. I will only test one cup and do the rest when I am with her for this review. If any dramatic changes are made in the future, I will post it (in term of flavor, etc.).
