Pre-Qingming Longjing 101

明前龙井 · Mingqian Longjing

Mingqian / 明前 literally means:

Before Qingming

In Chinese tea terminology, it refers to tea harvested before the Qingming Festival during the early spring tea season.

It is not an added flavor.

It describes the tea's harvest timing.

The pre-Qingming period occurs while spring growth is still young and the seasonal harvest window remains relatively short.

For Longjing, that timing becomes an important part of the tea's identity.

Early Spring · Tender Growth · Limited Season

30 Mini Tea Tins

A Different Way to Enjoy Longjing

One of the most distinctive features of this gift set is its presentation.

Instead of one large tea container, the 150 g of Longjing is divided across 30 individual mini tins.

That works out to approximately:

5 g Per Mini Tin

The individual tins make the tea easy to:

Enjoy Gradually

Share with Friends

Bring to Work

Serve to Guests

or:

Give as a Complete Gift

Use a full mini tin for a larger or shared brewing session, or measure approximately 3 g when following the recommended starting ratio.

Why Pre-Qingming Matters

Spring does not arrive all at once.

Tea plants begin producing tender new growth as temperatures rise.

Tea harvested before the Qingming Festival belongs to a relatively brief early-season window and is known as:

Mingqian Tea · 明前茶

Mingqian tea is traditionally appreciated for a more delicate and tender early-season character.

For this Longjing, the early-spring timing is part of what makes the tea distinctive.

Before Qingming · Early Spring · Quiet Refinement

Approx. 50 Brewing Portions

Using approximately 3 g per brewing session:

150 g Total Tea

÷

Approx. 3 g per Session

=

Approx. 50 Brewing Portions

And because the leaves can generally be infused more than once, those portions can become many individual cups.

The gift can be enjoyed gradually rather than disappearing after only a few tea sessions.

Clear Glass or White Porcelain?

Clear Glass

Visual · Simple · Relaxed

A transparent glass lets you watch Longjing's characteristic flat leaves soften and move through the water.

White Porcelain Gaiwan

Focused · Controlled · Refined

A gaiwan gives you more control over shorter repeated infusions and makes it easy to observe the opened leaves and tea liquor.

Infuser Mug

Easy · Practical · Everyday

A removable infuser is especially convenient for opening one mini tin at work or brewing a personal cup at home.
