Long Jing 2023

The distinctive, flattened buds of Long Jing, often known as Dragonwell, are renowned for their chestnut flavor, and a medium roasting has brought this to the fore here, along with a green coffee pungency and the hearty vegetality of fiddlehead fern. Sourced from Zhejiang near the beautiful Thousand Island Lake, the softening leaves floating in a glass pitcher may suggest nothing so much as the vibrant colours and unusual forms of this neighbouring landscape, while its rich aromas waft toward the nose, infusion after infusion.

Preparation

IN THE TEAPOT
  • Quantity: 6g / 500ml
  • Water temperature: 80°C
  • Infusion time: 3 min
GONGFU CHA METHOD
  • Quantity: 2g / 150ml
  • Water temperature: 80°C
  • 4 infusions: 60, 60, 90, 120 sec

For best results in gongfu cha, brew in a tall glass and fill with water before adding the leaves. Too high of a water temperature would burn the leaves, resulting in a bitter taste.
