Premium High Mountain Longjing Green Tea – Authentic Hangzhou Style, Handcrafted Loose Leaf, 1kg Bulk Option

This Premium Longjing Green Tea is sourced from the renowned tea-growing region of Hangzhou, Zhejiang – the historic home of China's most celebrated green tea. Crafted from 100% natural tea leaves and processed entirely by hand using traditional methods, this tea delivers the authentic taste and aroma that has made Longjing famous worldwide.

The dry leaves are flat, smooth, and beautifully uniform – a hallmark of premium Longjing craftsmanship. Each leaf is carefully shaped during the hand-firing process, locking in the fresh, vibrant character of the spring harvest. The appearance is a lustrous, vibrant green with a subtle, inviting fragrance.

When brewed, the tea releases a fresh, elevated aroma with characteristic chestnut and roasted grain notes. The liquor is a clear, bright green-yellow – translucent and visually pristine. The taste is smooth, mellow, and wonderfully balanced – a harmonious blend of sweet, grassy freshness and the distinctive roasted chestnut flavour that defines authentic Longjing. The aftertaste is clean and lingering, leaving a gentle sweetness that stays on the palate.

As a premium-grade green tea, it is naturally rich in antioxidants and catechins, offering a refreshing and healthful daily beverage.

Tasting Notes

Health Benefits

This premium Longjing green tea is naturally rich in beneficial compounds:

• Rich in antioxidants – supports overall wellness and a healthy immune system

• Refreshes the mind – enhances mental clarity, focus, and alertness

• Supports metabolism – contributes to a healthy, balanced lifestyle

• Soothes the senses – the gentle, roasted aroma has a naturally calming effect

Brewing Recommendation

Steps:

1. Pre-warm the vessel with hot water, then discard.

2. Place the leaves into the warm vessel and appreciate the fresh, chestnut-like fragrance.

3. Pour water at the recommended temperature gently along the wall of the vessel.

4. Steep for 1–2 minutes, then pour and enjoy.

5. For subsequent infusions, add 30 seconds to the steeping time – you can enjoy 3–4 satisfying cups from the same leaves.

Pro Tip: Longjing is best enjoyed at around 80°C – water that is too hot will scald the delicate leaves and produce bitterness. Use a glass tumbler to appreciate the visual beauty of the leaves as they slowly unfurl and settle.
