How strong is Lung Ching Organic?
Lung Ching is a delicate green tea that must be brewed with care to achieve the optimal taste. The strength of the tea can vary depending on your personal preference and brewing method. To prevent the tea from becoming too bitter, it is important to observe the correct water temperature and steeping time.
How do you brew Lung Ching?
To brew Lung Ching the traditional Chinese way, you'll need a teapot or gaiwan along with a teacup. Follow these steps for the best taste experience:
- Preheat your teapot or gaiwan and the cup by filling them with hot water and then emptying them.
- Use approximately 3 grams of Lung Ching Bio for every 150 ml of water.
- Heat water to a temperature of 80-85°C. Gently pour the water over the tea leaves in a circular motion to ensure that all the leaves are evenly moistened.
- Let the tea steep for 2-3 minutes for a mild and refreshing cup. If you prefer a stronger flavour, you can slightly increase the brewing time, but be careful not to lose the subtle flavor notes of the tea.
- Slowly pour the tea into the teacup, leaving the last drops in the teapot or gaiwan to increase the strength of the next infusion. Lung Ching Bio can be infused several times, with the flavor developing with each brew.
In China, Lung Ching is often drunk from small teacups so that its subtle taste and aromas can be better appreciated. One takes the time to taste the tea, smell the fragrance and observe the appearance of the leaves. When drinking Lung Ching, it is customary to hold the cup in both hands and drink it slowly in small sips to fully experience the taste and texture. This reverent ritual emphasizes the appreciation for the rich culture and history of this famous green tea.
Whether you choose the traditional Chinese method or your own favorite brewing method, the most important thing is to enjoy the unique taste and invigorating aroma of Lung Ching, a tea that has been appreciated and cherished for centuries.
Niels' Tip
For a special experience with Lung Ching Bio, try combining it with a light, vegetarian meal or a soft, white cheese. The subtle, nutty flavor of the tea complements the freshness of the vegetables and the creaminess of the cheese, creating a harmonious interplay of flavors that takes the meal to a higher level.
Lung Ching
Lung Ching's history dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), where it originated in the scenic Hangzhou region of Zhejiang Province. Lung Ching, meaning 'Dragon Well', refers to a legend where a dragon was discovered in a waterhole near a local tea plantation. Over the years, Lung Ching has become one of the most famous and appreciated green teas in China and abroad.
The harvest of Lung Ching is an important moment in the production process and has a major influence on the quality of the tea. The best Lung Ching is harvested in early spring, usually around Qingming, the traditional Chinese 'Tomb Festival' that takes place in the first week of April. This early spring crop, also called 'Ming Qian', is characterized by young, delicate tea leaves that provide an exceptionally refined taste.
Lung Ching's production process is a true craft, with each step carefully executed to ensure the highest quality and taste. After harvest, the fresh tea leaves are spread to wilt, losing their moisture and softening. Then the leaves are roasted in a large, heated wok to stop the oxidation process and obtain the characteristic flat, sword-shaped shape. This roasting is usually done manually by experienced tea farmers, who constantly move the leaves to ensure even heating and a smooth, sweet taste.
After roasting, the tea leaves are re-spread and cooled, then brought together in small portions and rolled by hand into the desired shape. Finally, the leaves are dried to remove the remaining moisture and concentrate the flavour. This meticulous manufacturing process is essential to creating Lung Ching's unique flavor and aromatic profile.
Lung Ching is not only a delicious tea, but also a symbol of China's rich tea culture and history. The refined production process, careful harvesting and age-old traditions make it a true treasure in the world of tea. Enjoy the refined taste, invigorating aroma and rich history of this famous green tea, and see for yourself why Lung Ching has been so loved by tea lovers around the world for generations.
