Longjing tea, a celebrated treasure from the verdant hills of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, unveils a delicate sweetness that gracefully intertwines with a mellow, nutty undertone. Hints of roasted chestnut emerge, carried on a fresh, vegetal scent that evokes the awakening of spring. The finish is both lingering and exquisitely refreshing, leaving a serene impression on the palate.
With roots stretching back to the esteemed Song Dynasty, Longjing, or Dragon Well tea, is instantly recognisable by its distinctive flat, spear-like leaves – a testament to its meticulous hand-picking and processing. Revered as one of China’s ten most famous teas, its exceptional quality is a direct result of time-honoured production methods and the unique terroir of the West Lake area.
