West Lake Longjing | 西湖龍井

 Tasting notes: Vegetal, chestnut, umami
 Origin: Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
 Oxidation: ⦿○○○○

An easy-drinking version of China's most famous green tea, our West Lake "Dragon Well" is mellow with a pleasant nutty, umami flavour.

Why we love it:

  • It is one of China’s top ten teas with a history that goes back centuries—a tea that was immortalised in the poetry of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing dynasty.
  • It has a savoury, grassy flavour that transforms into a sweet aftertaste in your throat.
  • It has a stronger flavour than our other Longjing green teas - a good wake-up tea for the morning.
