West Lake Dragon Well Green Tea

SKU: XHLJ-YQ-C

strong vegetal flavor and chestnut aroma; entry level daily dragon well tea

   At the end of the Grain Rain, tea leaves have grown quite big, unlike the neatly uniformed MingQian tea, but it is definitely a qualified third grade authentic West Lake Dragon Well tea. Although the appearance of YuQian tea looks simple and ordinary, the quality is still guaranteed by the brand. The translucent tea liquor with a little yellowish green tastes rich and sweet last. The rich aroma is favored by many tea fans.

   The wide flat and blackish green color, is the symbol of this tea which is also a characteristic achieved by the natural soil and the climate.

   After steep, the tender leaves are not quite uniformed, but the taste of this tea is all about.
To brew tender green tea such as Xihu Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng or Biluo Chun, usually use colorless and transparent glass, with water temperature around 90°c for brewing, but never use boiling water. The non-fermented green tea itself is very tender. Brew with extreme hot water would bring out the bitterness and affect the taste.

Ratio of tea and water: 1g:50ml (depending on personal taste)

Warm the glass with hot boiling water then discard water.

Using a teaspoon, take an appropriate amount of tea (Generally 3g) and put it into the glass.

When hot boiled water gets cooled down to about 90°c, lift up hot water pot and pour a small amount of hot water until tea leaves fully covered. And by rotating the glass for about 30 sec. to wet leaves, at the meantime, enjoy the smell of tea.

And then fill up with hot water (90°c) along the edge of the glass by using rotating pouring method to make tea leaves rolling up and down.

Ready to serve after 30 sec. Refill hot water until 1/3 of tea remaining.

*Gradually increase steeping time and for subsequent brewing.
