nathanlovestreescold brew longjing and blueberries season
EkoDrinking more of this year's Longjing (龙井茶) green tea that a friend got me back from China!
This one really took me on a journey! 🌱
The aroma of the dry leaves was very sweet and buttery, reminding me of french "sablés" cookies, and this was also present in the aroma of the tea broth itself, but along with the brews it evolved to become more fresh, even gaining some honeydew melon notes.
The taste of the tea had notes of cooked green asparagus and peas, as well as cooked dough. This in combination with its full bodied texture felt like I was having a delicious meal!
Finally, it has a sweet chestnut after-taste, and long-lasting umami notes once the nuttiness faded.
Brewed 80-90°C, not timed, and too many times to count!
Gaiwan & tea scoop bought in Teemaa
Pitcher bought in Nari Tea Lab
Cups by Oondobang
Tea pet by my friend Pirjo

Every year I buy some small amount of Longjing/Dragonwell green tea. For the last few years, I have pre-ordered Longjing from Mud and Leaves, theirs is always a reliable and tasty example of the tea. This is 2022 Mingqian Mei Jia Wu West Lake Longjing #43, Premium Grade.

found a new tea bowl from a local potter
it’s almost humid enough to brew with the air (feat. longjing no. 108 from One River Tea)
cold brewed longjing:
10g longjing leaves
1000ml water
leave in fridge overnight
enjoy
Second dose of 2024 Da Fo Long Jing from My Tea Pal Club. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but the flavor is a tad subtle for my personal taste.

One of my tea friends was giving me a hard time about drinking old green tea. Most of my 2024 green tea orders are still in transit, but I did get the MyTeaPal club... This is 2024 Da Fo Long Jing (dragonwell) from Jianguo Village.

I love when the fuzzy tea buds get smooshed in the process
