HANGZHOU LONGJING 2024 ORGANIC CERTIFIED

Longjing Chinese green tea produced in Hangzhou, the birthplace of Longjing, in April 2024

Location: Hangzhou, Zheijiang region

Flavor profile: This is a very pleasant Longjing with very good vegetality, but also a very present roast which develops the characteristic notes of nuts and chestnuts. It is very pleasant and we will enjoy coming back every day.

Brewing tips: This is a high-end tea and we strongly recommend respecting the basic dosages as well as using quality water to brew this tea.

Quality water will be very weakly mineralized water. Check the dry residue on the label of the water you wish to use, a value between 20 and 100mg/L will be suitable. That said, this is not an infallible rule, some waters at 130mg/L work well (Volvic) while others below 100mg/L have less good results. Quite famous and inexpensive water is the source of the Grand Barbier which you will find at Carrefour.

Brew small amounts of tea in a small container. The ideal would be a teapot between 20 and 30cl maximum. Place 5 to 8g of leaves for 1 minute of infusion with water at 75 degrees.
