Prepare 3 to 5 grams of tea leaves and a glass cup. Pour boiling water at approximately 85°C into the glass cup, filling it to about one-third of its capacity. This temperature is considered the optimal choice for brewing Longjing tea. Following the ratio of tea to water at 1:50 to 1:60, add the Longjing tea leaves into the cup. Gently shake the glass cup to allow the tea leaves to rapidly unfurl under the warmth of the water. Then, carefully pour in more 85°C boiling water, taking care to pour it slowly along the sides of the cup to avoid direct contact with the tea leaves. Allow the tea to steep for 1 to 2 minutes before starting to enjoy your delicious cup of Longjing tea.
