Afternoon Tea Party

Kai Hua Long Ding is quickly gaining international recognition. This tea has already won the “Zhejiang 10 Famous Tea” and “Top 10 Most Preferred Green Tea” in 2004 and many believe it should be listed as one of China’s ten famous tea.

Other names:
Kai Hua Dragon’s Pick

Taste:
The aroma of this tea is minty fresh combined with a wonderful peach-like fruity taste and a lingering sweet aftertaste.

Appearance:
The tender tea leaves have a thick body and only 5mm - 6mm in length. When steeped, the tea leaves stand upright in the water (an indication of exceptional quality).

Origin:
Kai Hua, Zhejiang Province

Harvest Period:
Spring ‘06 (Ming Qian Cha)

Brewing
We recommend using glass-based or porcelain tea ware. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water. Use about 2 grams of tea leaves (1-2 teaspoons) for every 150ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 70°c (158°F) to 80°c (176°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.
