Revisiting the Long Jing

Ok, so I didn't get a chance to resteep this yesterday like I was hoping, time was very crazy.  Anyway, I feel like I'm drinking a different tea this morning.  I had the chance to go to Canton's website and look up this tea.  Wow.  That's really the best word to describe it.  Suffice to say that as a new tea drinker, I might have been a little overwhelmed by the information about this tea, I'm still trying to make heads or tails out of some of it.  I looked at their brewing instructions, and adjusted my brewing accordingly.  The difference is huge from the tea I had yesterday.  Canton recommends more leaves and a shorter steep time.  1 tbsp! of leaves per cup, 150 degree water, and steeping for 1-3 minutes.  This made for a wonderfully light green tea that I am thoroughly enjoying.  This may have just become my favorite green tea.
