Listen Later

In this episode, we talk about West Lake Dragonwell, we just got back from Hangzhou a few days ago with some incredible insights into the making of longjing. We share tips on how to buy the right longjing on the mountain; talk about the risks of drinking same-day tea, get into the TCM of green teas both freshly made and moderately aged. We bring back some old favorite characters Tang Xiaojun and Tang Hejun. We introduce our new source for this fantastic tea, Little Wang with her garden of Longjing Cultivar 108. Finally we talk about meeting Jürgen from Tea Addicts (https://www.tea-addicts.de). We have a lovely moment sharing tea between friends, and we consider the idiom 可遇不可求 (Ke Yu Bu Ke Qiu), “Things that can be found only by chance, not by seeking”. As always, most the teas mentioned can be found on our website (https://onerivertea.com) and the Chaozhou teapots we mentioned can befound on our teaware website (https://taoteaware.com). Thanks for your interest in our tea adventures!
