Story
Picked before Qingming from our own gardens in the West Lake Longjing hills, where we have grown tea since 2010. Floral over roasted green bean — the quiet end of our grid, and the cup that taught us restraint.
How to brew
3 g leaves · 150 g water · 80 °C · steep 45 s, then again, a little longer each time.
