Spring Long Jing

This exquisite A+ grade Long Jing presents a classic profile of toasted chestnuts and fresh, grassy notes. It offers a smooth, rich umami sweetness with a lingering, clean finish that embodies the ess. It leans chestnut, umami 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 2024 harvest.
