West Lake Longjing Qunti (Old Tree) Pre-Qingming – Grade B

If you like your genuine West Lake Longjing, look no further.  After years of searching, we have at last found a farmer who is willing to sell out of China. Most genuine Longjing has been sold within China for many years now, and we have had to resort to buying Dragonwell type tea from Yunnan, but if you're paying the money, you really want the real thing. We have two grades, this one being the crazy expensive one.  It comes in a lovely gift tin which holds 125g, but we can also sell it in much smaller quantities. Send us a message if you fancy the tin.

Appearance: This high-grade tea is flat and slender in shape after hot pan-firing, each leaf is at best integrity and measures between 1.5-2.5 cm in length. Each tip is perfectly flattened in the work by the expert with 30+ years of tea-making experience. The leaves are hand-picked during the first week of spring tea production, so the overall color of the tea is yellow-green which is the color of authentic  premium Westlake Longjing Qunti

Aroma: Made during the very start of the spring harvest, this tea has a light refreshing sweet aroma like a spring breeze on a sunny morning. The smell is between chestnuts and toasty.

Taste: The flavor is sweet, fruity, and soothing. Its thick tea scent and multi-level backsweet will linger in your mouth for a long while.
