| This is China's most famous tea and simply the best of all Long Jing variety. Xi Hu Long Jing has more than a thousand years of recorded history and was mentioned in the first ever tea book (Cha Ching) by Lu Yu during the Tang Dynasty. So popular that even Queen Elizabeth II, former US President Richard Nixon, and Henry Kissinger once tasted this tea during their visit to China. Xi Hu is now a protected area. Only the leaves picked within the designated 168 sq km of Xi Hu area can be considered as Xi Hu Long Jing. To ensure its authenticity, we will provide a coded anti-fake label issued by Hang Zhou's Quality Control Department (for 100 grams and above only). Other names:West Lake Dragonwell, Xi Hu Lung Ching Taste:The pleasant aroma is refreshingly light with a hint of fruit and nut combined. The aftertaste is almost instantaneous, filling your mouth with a sweetness reminiscence of grape fruit. Appearance:Exquisite flat and narrow emerald green tea leaves. 1 bud and 1 to 2 leaves. The tea leaves easily sink to the bottom of the cup during infusion. Origin:Xi Hu, Zhejiang Province Harvest Period:Spring '07 (Ming Qian Cha) |
