Source: Longjing Village
Farming Methods: Natural farming – EU Compliant
Production Methods: Tea Plucking-Slight withering-Frying in ten complicated steps.
This delicate, first harvest tea is plucked before April 4 or 5, prior to the arrival of the spring rains and the Qing Ming Festival. The young leaves are extra small.
Long Jing is the most famous Chinese tea and usually ranks #1 on the 10 Famous Chinese tea lists. This tea originates in the Xihu lakeside, outside the city of Hangzhou in the West Lake District. Elmwood owner Bruce Richardson spent a week in those gardens in 2018.
The processing of top grade Long Jing tea is almost all done in a thick iron pan and fried by hand. The seemingly simple processing is a very intricate and difficult work of art.
The first sip has the aroma and sweetness of a fresh melon. The finish is vegetative with a hint of spring asparagus. Easily yields multiple infusions.
We were only able to obtain a kilogram of this tea, mainly for our World Tea Academy tasting kits. We have a limited supply to share with our customers.

I am a life long tea drinker and have tried many teas. Elmwood Inn has the best tasting teas, and including the best customer service. I had a question about this tea, and my email was answered right away. After trying this tea, I am declaring it the best of the Lung Ching teas. After my first sip, I just wanted to sit and enjoy the flavor. It is heavenly.

Of the three Lung Chings you offer, I would say this one tops them. Try brewing 2 tsp. in a gaiwan starting at 20 seconds. The results: The sweet, refreshing flavor that's cooling on the tongue with a clean finish. I dare you to find one better.
