Longjing Pure
Longjing Pure
A legendary tea, Longjing is a savory green tea with aromas of butter and toasted nuts. Literally translated as "Dragon Well," our Longjing Pure is from the pre-rain harvest and, when brewed (hot or cold), gives an umami mouth feel.
It is produced high in the mountains of a national preserve, away from people and pollution. Our growers use hand-roasting methods in the final stages of processing, giving the tea its trademark sign of flat light green leaves. They look like mini swords ready to slay your thirst (sorry, I had to). There are so many legends and myths about this tea, but what's true is that it's one of China's most famous teas.
For drinkers interested in a warm and slightly dry tea for morning or mid-day, Longjing is the way to go. Use the brew suggestion below or you can infuse it lightly with 1 g to 100 ml for a pleasant softness to your tea.
