Spring Long Jing

This exquisite green tea boasts an intense and fresh aroma, reminiscent of the early spring. The tea liquor presents a thick, full body with visible tea hairs, offering a delightful experience compara. It leans fresh, aromatic and full-bodied.

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.

Grown in Yunnan, China. This batch is from the Spring harvest.

Starts at $8.00 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.23/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.38 per session. Compare green prices across vendors on Teadar.
