Premium Chinese Green Tea

2008 Pre-Ming West Lake Long Jing (明前西湖龙井)

Another great West Lake Long Jing from Tea Research Institute in HangZhou, the only authority in tea quality test in China.

This delicate pre-Ming Long Jing was grown at Tea Research Institute's Long Jing tea garden in the protected West Lake Long Jing Origin area, and hand fired by experienced masters. This year's extremely cold weather caused delay in harvest. Our Long Jing is the few early harvest. This tea carries Chinese Green Food Certificate.

This Long Jing offers beautiful leave presentations, wonderful aroma, and pure and refreshing taste. We carry both Long Jing Varietal & Long Jing #43 at our online store.
