How do you store loose tea?
How do you store loose tea?
Loose tea is best stored at room temperature, dry and in a dark closed tea tin. You can always put a desiccant such as a silica gel pad in the tea tin so that it absorbs any moisture. in the tea tin.
This way loose tea can keep for a very long time. Also, nothing happens to the smell, color or taste for a very long time. Because tea is an unrefrigerated product, the shelf life is extra long.
So keep the tea in the cupboard or in another dark place, but best not in the kitchen because a lot of odors and evaporation takes place in a kitchen.
Longjing green tea is a very popular tea in China and is one of the most consumed green tea in China.
Longjing is a classic example of wok roasted green tea. The reason tea drinkers love a good Longjing is because of its complex taste with an aroma of baked mung beans, or chestnut. When set correctly, a fine Longjing has a dense, crisp, savory full body with a slight astringency.
How is this tea drunk?
In Zhejiang, Longjing tea is drunk from a glass in which a teaspoon of the tea is added, as with the white Silver Needle tea. They like this because they see the tea in the glass dancing up and down while infusing. This way of brewing tea only started about a hundred years ago when having a clear glass was a social status. We also call this style Grandpa Style Brewing.
Of course you can also put Longjing in the Gong Fu Style, this you get more control over the making of your tea and the tea leaves do not continue to infuse in the water < strong>so that the tea does not become bitter or too strong.
Use 3 to 3.5g of tea leaves per 100ml of water and place in a teapot or gaiwan, pour over 80°C water and let it infuse for 15 to 20 seconds. Then decant the tea into a carafe and then pour it into your teacups.
Origin
Authentic Longjing tea (also known as Dragon Well tea) must be grown in Zhejiang Province in the Xihu (West Lake) region of Hangzhou. If grown elsewhere, it is considered fake (just like champagne). Its fame only grew in the 17th century when the popular emperor from the Qing dinasty Qian Long preserved this tea for his use.
The most famous and renowned original production locations are:
