Té Longjing
Hojas verdes planas moldeadas mediante el proceso de «pan». Descubre el Longjing prestando atención al productor, al lugar de cultivo y al sabor en la taza.
The craft is visible in the leaf.
Longjing is a green tea known for its flat leaf form. Traditional hand processing moves through spreading, firing, resting and a finishing pan stage. The West Lake chapter introduces a particular origin within its story. When buying, distinguish the tea name from a claim that a specific product was grown in the West Lake area.

Loose leaf
The whole leaves let you see the finished shape. Choose a quantity that matches the way you make tea, keeping the pack's identity and storage details.
Portioned leaf
A pre-portioned pack can help you repeat a preparation. Check how much water and which brewing method the producer intends.
Blended or prepared tea
Read the complete ingredients when Longjing appears in a bottled drink or blend. The product may differ substantially from plain loose leaf tea.
A place to start.
Begin with the maker's method
Use the recommended amount of leaf, water temperature and brewing time. Choose a vessel suited to that method.
Watch the leaf
As the tea steeps, notice the leaves opening and the aroma developing. Keep the preparation consistent for the first cup.
Taste before changing it
Let the tea cool to a comfortable temperature. If you want to adjust the next cup, change one variable within the maker's guidance and compare.
A green tea for the time you choose.
Longjing contains caffeine. A spring landscape or delicate-looking cup does not tell you its caffeine amount. Check the finished product information and choose a preparation that suits your day.
What to look for.
Read the growing claim
A West Lake origin should have supporting traceability information. Flat leaves alone do not establish where a tea grew.
Ask about the harvest and maker
Look for a clear account of this tea, including the stated harvest and processing. Avoid inferring those details from a scenic photograph.
Follow storage guidance
Keep the original storage instructions and close the pack after use. Buy with your own pace of tea drinking in mind.
Find a moment for it.
Bring the ingredient into an ordinary part of your day.
