From Camellia Sinensis

With their bluish tint, these lovely long, twisted leaves are picked one by one without buds or branches. Bamboo brooms are used during desiccation to turn the leaves in the heated vats. The misty liquor offers a very interesting arc of flavours: at first, a taste of yellow flowers appears quietly then is followed by a sweetness that suggests strawberry jam, and culminates in a vegetal finish reminiscent of avocadoes.

A Beautiful Green Tea! Vegetal notes intermingled with roasted nuts, it’s wonderful. I get two good steepings out of it western style, and use 2 to 3 grams of leaf per 350 to 400 ml water. There is nothing else like a good Lu-an Gua Pian. Beautiful Mouth texture, and 2023’s crop knocked it out of the park!

I usually do this one western style, as Gong Fu will yeild a weak tea. The first infusion will be 3 minutes, giving me a lovely lime green liquor. I’ll usually do the second steeping at 5 minutes to finish it off. It’s quite a forgiving green tea for heavy handed brewing, but I would stick within the 185F to 187F mark with this tea to get the absolute best out of it!
