This Select Grade Longjing is made from early spring leaves, slightly more mature than premium bud-focused grades, giving it a more relaxed, easy-drinking profile while retaining the essential character of Dragon Well tea.

The dry leaves are flat, smooth, and neatly shaped, with a lively green color. When brewed, the liquor appears clear and light green, bright and refreshing.

The aroma is gentle and clean, featuring soft roasted bean notes and a light vegetal freshness. Compared to higher grades, the fragrance is more subtle, but still pleasant and well-balanced.

On the palate, the tea is smooth, fresh, and lightly sweet, with minimal bitterness and a clean finish. The body is lighter and less concentrated, making it ideal for frequent drinking throughout the day.

Simple, fresh, and dependable —
a Longjing designed for everyday moments.
