Long Jing Special Grade (West Lake Dragon Well) 50g
Xi Hu Long Jing Special Grade 50g (West Lake Dragon Well)
World's Best Green Tea The most famous green tea in China is certainly Long Jing, which is grown in the mountains around the West Lake area of Hangzhou.
According to many tea experts, the Longjing tea is amongst the finest and most representative of green teas.
It has been described as the "ideal" beverage for "quiet, contemplative times."
This tea has a very distinctive shape: smooth and perfectly flattened along the inside vein of the leaf, the result of highly skilled shaping in a hot wok. Natural sweetness from the jade green leaf establishes a complex palette in this renowed sweet nutty tea.
The tea contains Vitamin C, amino acids, and, like most finer Chinese green teas, has one of the highest concentrations of catechins among teas.
Quality: Special Grade Weight: 50 grams Harvest Time: Ming Qian/Pre-Qingming (Before Ching Ming) Taste: The pleasant aroma is refreshingly light; lightly sweet with a smooth texture and hint of lingering chestnut. A truly satisfying cup of tea.
