“A very tasty tea. I just finished my stash of it. I would definitely recommend this tea to others.” Read full tasting note
“This is a lovely Dragon Well, perfectly balanced with none of that drying quality that comes from over-roasting. Sweet and juicy (sugarcane, sweet peas, corn, stonefruit) play off savoury notes...” Read full tasting note
“Small jade leaves, many with a bit of white fur. Tastes of buttery chestnut with hints of sugarcane, green grass, and lemon juice. Very refreshing. A nice dragonwell.” Read full tasting note
“This is one of the samples I received from Teabento in exchange for honest reviews of their products. Now that I’ve offered that particular disclaimer, I’ll say that I was most interested in this...” Read full tasting note

Description

A new treasure for you! 100% organically cultivated on the foggy mountain slope in the West Lake (Xihu) region, carefully picked before the Qingming Festival and masterfully roasted in the wok following old traditions, a Long Jing of superlatives has come into life. The bright yellow-green leaves are flattened in the form of a sword blade. The delicate aroma is combined with sweet orchids, fresh grass and roasted chestnuts. The clear infusion provides a silky fullbodied mouthfeel and a distinctive taste: refreshing, mild-sweet, slightly creamy with fine roast nuances.
