Spring Long Jing

This Dragon Well tea offers a refreshing cup with prominent notes of roasted chestnuts and fresh, sweet peas. Its smooth, slightly creamy body leads to a clean finish with a lingering vegetal sweetnes. 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 Zhejiang, China. This batch is from the Spring 2020 harvest.
