Spring Teas

Spring is the floral and first-flush collection: twenty blends at a median 83 °C for three minutes, spread evenly across green, white, oolong and black bases. These are the lightest teas of the year, and they are the ones most easily ruined by water that is too hot.

The season's landmarks are here. Sakura tea and Sakura Sencha use salt-preserved cherry blossom, drunk in Japan at weddings and hanami; First Flush Darjeeling is the year's first plucking after the winter dormancy, bright and muscatel; Qingming Pre-Rain Green is picked before the April rains, the most prized harvest window in Chinese green tea. Around them sit lighter florals — honeysuckle, magnolia, lilac, plum and apple blossom.

Treat them gently: cooler water, shorter steeps, and a second infusion rather than a longer first one. Each tea below carries its exact temperature, ratio, timing and tasting notes.
