‘Long Ding’ refers to the celebrated ‘Kaihua Long Ding’ tea in China. Only tender leaves, handpicked from select pockets, are used for producing this particular variety of green tea. Classic vegetal nuances and nutty, cereal-like accents are apparent in its aroma as well as the flavor. A pleasant cleansing astringency lingers in the finish.

This is a Chinese famous green tea by way of Nilgiri, yep Nilgiri. It pays to go into these tasting with preconceived notions of how could this possibly be good. That way there are no disappointments when you sample and aren’t impressed or it just tastes awful. Well it also pays off in the opposite. Low expectations in this case yielded a very pleasant surprise. Steeped according to direction this is a very impressive Long Ding, not the best but very representative of high quality. Flavors of hay, barley and almost corn with a gentle sweetness and a touch of astringency. I had two different steeping the second was a little more tea (double) and lower temp 160 but there was a bit more astringency that was taking over the profile so stick with the suggested brewing guidelines.
