Long Jing

This exquisite Longjing, originating from the esteemed Shifeng area, presents a delightful balance of savory and sweet. Anticipate prominent notes of toasted nuts and fresh, vibrant spring greens, cul. It leans nutty, vegetal and sweet.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in China. This batch is from the 2026 harvest.
