Fresh Longjing Mingqian tea is one of them.About this EventThe Season · 谷雨 Grain RainGrain Rain (谷雨) falls on April 20th this year — the last solar term of spring, and the most celebrated moment in the Chinese tea world.The 24 Solar Terms are based on the solar calendar — they track the sun's position in the sky throughout the year, not the cycles of the moon. This ancient system, over 2,000 years old, was developed by Chinese farmers to understand nature's rhythms and live in step with them. Grain Rain marks the moment when spring rains begin to fall in earnest — nourishing the grains, deepening the green, and changing the tea forever.The Tea · 龙井明前 Longjing MingqianBefore the rains, the tea plant grows slowly through the cool early spring. With less water and more time, the leaves concentrate everything — their sweetness, their fragrance — into a smaller, more delicate bud. The moment heavy rain arrives, the plant accelerates. Leaves grow faster, larger, and dilute.Mingqian tea is rarer. The harvest window is only a few weeks. Farmers hand-pick only the youngest buds — sometimes just one leaf and one bud — before the rains change everything.What you get in the cup:— Natural sweetness with almost no bitterness— A clean, fresh fragrance that fades as quickly as spring itself— A softness no aged or processed tea can replicateLongjing (龙井 · Dragon Well) is the most celebrated of all Mingqian teas, grown in the hills of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. For centuries it was reserved for emperors.We sourced this year's harvest directly from China — picked before the rains, shipped fresh to Toronto.Fresh green tea does not wait. This is one of those weeks.What's Happening🍵 Brewing demonstrationEnning will show you how to brew fresh green tea properly — water temperature, leaf ratio, timing, and what to look for in the cup.📖 The story behind the cupA brief intro to the Grain Rain season, why Mingqian tea is so prized, and how the 24 Solar Terms shaped the way Chinese people relate to nature and time.💬 Tea socialThe rest of the afternoon is open.
