About This Tea
What does Mingqian Orchid Buds Presale taste like?
This exquisite early spring green tea presents a distinct flavor profile, opening with rich notes of roasted chestnut. The palate is then graced with a creamy umami reminiscent of taro and fresh cabba. It leans nutty, umami and vegetal.
How should I brew Mingqian Orchid Buds Presale?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
