Spring Rare tea

This Imperial Grade Laoshan green tea offers a harmonious blend of vegetal freshness and a satisfyingly sweet character. Notes of green chestnut emerge, complemented by a savory, umami richness that p. It leans vegetal, sweet and umami.

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 Shandong, China from the Longjing 43 cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2025 harvest.

Starts at $5.75 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.15/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.90 per session. Compare green prices across vendors on Teadar.
