This Classic Laoshan Green Tea presents a robust and stimulating profile, characterized by thick, pungent, and savory vegetal notes. With slightly larger leaves than its Imperial counterpart, it offer. It leans vegetal, savory and pungent.

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.
