Experience the Royal Green of Hangzhou. Longjing, or Dragon Well Tea, is China's most famous green tea, cherished for its smooth, sweet chestnut flavor and unique flat leaf shape. Harvested exclusively in early spring near West Lake (Xi Hu) in Hangzhou, this tea offers a deeply refreshing and refined experience, making it the perfect centerpiece for a sophisticated New Year's gift.

Flavour Profile & Origin This premium, pan-fired tea is characterized by:

  • Aroma: Warm, sweet, and nutty (like roasted soybeans or chestnuts).
  • Taste: Remarkably smooth, clean, with a gentle sweetness and zero bitterness when brewed correctly.
  • Appearance: Flat, jade-green leaves resembling "sparrow's tongues."
  • Origin: Xi Hu (West Lake) region, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.

A Celebration of Spring and New Year Longjing tea is a symbol of vitality and new beginnings, as it is among the first teas to be harvested each year. Gifting this tea is an act of bestowing health and prosperity for the coming year.

Brewing Guidelines To unlock the delicate flavour of Dragon Well, use soft water that has cooled slightly. Avoid boiling water (175–185°F / 80–85°C). Steep for 2–3 minutes. The leaves can typically be re-steeped 3–5 times.

Packaging The tea is sealed in a ceremonial red and gold airtight tin, ensuring absolute freshness and presenting beautifully as a luxury New Year's gift. It is ideal for those who seek the highest quality, authentic Chinese green tea.
