Chinese Longjing (Dragon Well) Green Tea
In Stock From £7.95
Longjing tea, also known by its literal translation 'Dragon Well', is a variety of pan-fried green tea from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Produced mostly by hand this tea is renowned throughout China for its high quality. The liquor is very pale, and the flavour is soft, nutty and toasty - wonderful!
PREPARATION
Place 3g (1tsp) of tea per person in a pot or cup infuser. Using boiling water to steep green tea can damage the leaves, so instead use water that is around 80°c (boiling water that has been allowed to cool for 2 minutes). Brew for 3 - 5 minutes according to taste. The same leaves can be re-used for up to 3 infusions.
