Re: Longjing — which way do you like it

In my opinion, the reason I would take the trouble to buy good long’jing in an online shop is because of the special taste it has, which is very different from good Japanese green tea. I think it is good either strong in a Yixing teapot or not so strong in a bigger porcelain teapot, or on a tall glass. However, the Yixing teapot is very important. It has to be good thick Yixing purple clay and very good seasoning. If no good Yixing teapot, maybe a very good small porcelain teapot is better. The different is good Yixing teapot you can use slightly higher temperature water for more taste, porcelain teapot cannot.
