Experimenting with brewing other green teas in the Japanese Komaru Kyusu clay teapot, in this case some west lake longjing.

2/ Our theory (which I can only imagine has been handed down for centuries) was that the dampness reminded the reeds of their native swamps and marshes, and so they felt more comfortable with us using them in this fashion.
I have similar animistic and superstitious feelings about green tea, especially longjing. Today's brew seems especially verdant, I think in response to the rain.

No real hardship to drink down this slightly aged Mingqian 2021 Mei Jia Wu West Lake Longjing #43 from Mud and Leaves.

This morning I'm drinking the first 2023 green tea I've received: Qihuo Pre-Ming Longjing. Qihuo refers to the two days before the qingming festival, when this grade is picked.

Warm weather continues, so finishing off the end of some Mingqian 2021 Mei Jia Wu West Lake Longing #43 Green Tea from Mud and Leaves. Still great tea, but bottom of the bag, more broken leaves than usual. Also, I think my scale needs new batteries, it's getting a little flaky, (this seems like a lot of leaves, even though I weighed a couple times). Zip, Zap, Zoom!
