TASTING
Utterly clear, utterly pure; bud tips fine and tender.
Melting on the tongue, fresh as drinking sweet dew, an aftertaste light yet far-reaching.
The year's earliest first picking, precious as gold, limited in supply each year. The clearest liquor, the most tender bud tips, freshness at its utmost, melting on the tongue — the purest, clearest expression of Longjing; miss it and wait another year.
The year's earliest first pick, a tender fragrance utterly clear and pure; to the warm nose, the breath of new-born bud tips, almost without stray scent; the aroma at the cup's base faint to the point of cleanliness.
Melting on the tongue, fresh as drinking sweet dew; the clearest liquor, the most tender bud tips; an aftertaste light yet far-reaching — utterly clear, utterly pure, one season a year only.

- Craft
- Traditional pan-fired craft — flat and slender, tender green in colour, high heat sealing in the freshness of pre-Qingming.
- Water
- 85–90°C; never pour boiling water straight onto the buds
