By changing the order of tea and water, or the temperature of the water, we will experience how brewing transforms each tea’s aroma, flavour, texture, sweetness, and overall expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e· Top Grade Longjing · Calm \u0026amp; Refined\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom-In Brewing · Tea Leaves First\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe begin with Longjing by placing the leaves into the cup before adding water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the leaves slowly unfurl, the tea reveals a clear, smooth liquor with delicate roasted and chestnut-like notes.
