Brewing tips: If you put Chinese tea in a gaiwan, you always have to leave a small amount of moisture in the gaiwan between each infusion, remove the lid from the gaiwan during brewing.
Appearance: The dried tea consists of long thin leaves with dark brown, yellow and green hues, the traditional "Cao Mi (brown rice)" color of Long Jing. The "Yu Ye (fish shaped leaves)" indicate the first harvest of the year. The scent of the dry leaves is a combination of sweet roasted green beans and a freshly roasted peanut scent supplemented with a very little hint of anise. The wet leaves give the same sweet green bean scent, but sweeter supplemented with a subtle touch of steamed asparagus. The tea gives a pale bright green color and has a nutty spicy taste, followed by a refreshing vegetable flowery taste.
