Long Jing 'Dragon Well' 'pack' 2026

Long Jing (龙井茶 – Dragon Well) is the most famous Chinese green tea, produced in Zhejiang province, especially around Hangzhou. The tea is harvested early in spring from tender shoots, then pan-fried by hand, which gives it its characteristic flat shape and roasted yet fresh aroma.

You will receive 2*15 grams of tea to taste two categories of Long Jing tea from the same producer.

This batch comes from Mr. Lin's small family garden near Hangzhou, with whom we have had a direct relationship for several years. The 2026 harvest was particularly successful: the cool spring resulted in slow development, more intense aromas, and exceptional balance. The tea is among the early pickings, which is noticeable in its delicacy and purity.

During processing, the leaves are lightly roasted, preserving their freshness while developing buttery-nutty and floral notes – this is what makes Long Jing truly special.
