The Story

What’s In a Leaf

Longjing — ‘Dragon Well’ — is among the most celebrated of China’s green teas, named for a spring in the hills above Hangzhou. Its signature is the pan-fire: leaves pressed by hand against a hot wok into flat, sword-shaped blades.

That craft is what you taste — a mellow chestnut sweetness, a buttery texture, and a clean, faintly toasty finish. Brew it in a glass and the flat leaves stand upright, then slowly sink: one of the quiet pleasures of a good Longjing.

The Ritual

How to Brew

Green tea wants a gentler hand than black — cooler water, a short steep, and it gives you several cups from one leaf.

Water75–80°C — well below boilingGreen tea scorches and turns bitter if the water is too hot.

Leaf1 heaped tsp (2–3 g) per cup (240 ml)A little more leaf, a little less time — the green-tea rhythm.

Time1–2 minutesShort steeps keep it sweet; re-steep the same leaves 2–3 times, a little longer each round.

Drink it plain — no milk, no sugar. A tall glass lets you watch the flat leaves stand and slowly sink.
