Description
Product Description
This 2026 Pre-Qingming green tea is crafted from tender buds harvested before the Qingming Festival – the most prized time of the year for green tea production. Sourced from the renowned tea-growing region of Zhejiang, this tea represents the pinnacle of spring freshness and traditional craftsmanship.
The dry leaves are beautifully shaped – tight, straight, and uniform, with a vibrant green colour that signals exceptional quality. Each leaf is carefully hand-picked from high mountain gardens, ensuring only the finest material makes its way into your cup.
When brewed, the tea reveals its signature character – a rich, pronounced bean fragrance that is the hallmark of authentic green tea from this region. The liquor is a bright, clear yellow-green, translucent and visually inviting. The taste is fresh, mellow, and wonderfully balanced – a harmonious blend of sweet, grassy notes and the characteristic bean flavour that defines this tea. The aftertaste is long and lingering, leaving a gentle sweetness that stays with you.

Brewing Recommendation
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Teaware | Glass tumbler or porcelain gaiwan |
| Tea amount | 3–5g (adjust according to taste) |
| Water volume | 200–250ml |
| Water temperature | 80–85°C (176–185°F) – let boiling water cool slightly |
Steps:
-
Pre-warm the vessel with hot water, then discard.
-
Place the leaves into the warm vessel and appreciate the fresh, bean-like fragrance.
-
Pour water at the recommended temperature gently along the wall of the vessel.
-
Steep for 1–2 minutes, then pour and enjoy.
-
For subsequent infusions, add 30 seconds to the steeping time – you can enjoy 3–4 satisfying cups from the same leaves.
Pro Tip: To fully appreciate the fresh, bright character of this tea, we recommend using water at around 80°C – slightly cooler than other green teas. This helps preserve the delicate bean aroma and ensures a smooth, mellow cup. For the best experience, use a glass tumbler to appreciate the visual beauty of the leaves as they unfurl and settle.
