Green Tea Season

Greetings Tea Friends!

Now is the beautiful spring season, this is the time of hope and vitality, the best time to enjoy fresh green tea.

Longjing - The King Of Green Tea 

Longjing (Dragon Well) is the supreme grade of green tea and the experience is rather special:

During the first round, Longjing may confuse us because it has no apparent taste, but just when we are looking for the taste in our mouth, an elegant flavour comes from the throat, wave after wave…

After several rounds, the whole mouth and throat are filled with flavour. Our mind becomes fully relaxed and our heart is filled with joy and peace.

Biluochun - The Queen Of Green Tea 

For every King there must be a Queen and the Queen of Green Tea is without a doubt Biluochun.

A very delicate and tender tea, Biluochun has a different taste to Longjing..... a taste that I'd describe as "mixed fruits"

You can read more about Biluochun at Kungfucha.net here

Green tea needs to be enjoyed fresh as its taste drops quickly with storage.

The first top-grade batches of both Longjing and Biluochun are now available, but in very limited quantities for a limited time.

Shall we enjoy together? If you're interested,please view the links above.

Kung Fu Cha Teapots - How a teapot improves over time with use

Hello my Cha Ren (Chinese for "Tea People / Tea Friends")

Being a Chinese tea lover, I wanted to share with you in a series of photographs how a teapot changes over time with use.

As we've talked about in previous blogs, good quality Yixing teapots have a fine finish and solid texture, a four percent water absorption rate, very low thermal conductivity, and a double air hole design which enhances the pot's brewing properties. The more you use and polish it after a tea session, the more the natural shiny appearance of it will improve. This is partly due to the presence of natural oils in the tea.

Below are pictures of the same batch teapots which are +20years old. One has never been used, one has been used for about 2 months and one for more than a year.

Hmmm, let's see the results....

Teapot Never Used

Teapot has been used for two months

Teapot has been used for more than one year

Can you tell the difference by the appearance!? And we use them to make the exact same Pu-erh tea.

Cheers,

George
