No matter what kind of West Lake Longjing tea, the market has always been out of stock, and the prices of other teas range from thousands to hundreds, so if you are not a real expert, it is recommended not to act rashly.

When is Longjing tea produced best?

There are three categories of Longjing tea, namely Shifeng Longjing, Meiwu Longjing and West Lake Longjing. Shifeng Longjing has the best quality and lasting aroma, Meiwu Longjing has a slender appearance, and West Lake Longjing has plump and tender leaves with a slightly inferior aroma. The most rough division is to divide Longjing into two categories: West Lake Longjing and Zhejiang Longjing. In the past, only teas from Shifeng, Meijiawu, Yunxi, Hupao and other places in the West Lake area were called Longjing! Longjing tea is the best in spring, and it is occasionally picked in summer and autumn, but most of them are used to make tea beverages, and few people drink it alone. Longjing tea picked before Guyu is called Yuqian Longjing, which is the real popular ration tea and the most popular tea among tea lovers. Yuqian Longjing is not as fresh as Mingqian Longjing, and its natural fresh taste is also worse than Mingqian Longjing, but Yuqian Longjing is more resistant to brewing and has a higher cost performance in general. The special-grade West Lake Longjing tea is flat, smooth and straight. The dry tea is tender green and shiny, with a pure aroma, a fresh and sweet taste, and the leaves are tender and elastic.

How to control the temperature when brewing Longjing tea

Longjing tea is divided into Mingqian tea and Yuqian tea. Mingqian tea is the tea picked before Qingming Festival, which is fresh, tender and high in amino acids. It tastes fresh, sweet and delicious. When brewing such tea, the water temperature should not be too high, about 85 degrees is appropriate. Because too high water temperature will destroy the freshness of amino acids, and at the same time will accelerate the release of caffeine in the tea, and the taste will not be good enough.
