West Lake Longjing Green Tea — Pre-Qingming Harvest
Sourced from the renowned West Lake region, this Longjing green tea is harvested before the Qingming Festival (Pre-Ming / Mingqian), when young buds are at their most tender and flavorful. Each leaf is hand-picked and pan-fired to preserve its signature flat shape, vibrant jade-green color, and layered chestnut-floral aroma.
Why Pre-Qingming Longjing?
The brief window before Qingming yields the season's finest leaves — shorter, plumper buds with concentrated sweetness, minimal bitterness, and a lingering smooth finish. This is the benchmark of Chinese green tea craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
