Description

China's most famous green tea, produced in the authentic core West Lake production area of the premium Longjing, has a sweet taste and a long floral fragrance.

About Our Dragon Well

Starting in 2020, the Hangzhou West Lake Longjing Tea Industry Association has formulated new management measures. All tea companies and tea farmers in the West Lake production area must affix anti-counterfeiting labels. The Tea Industry Association calculates the approximate production capacity and issues the certificate of origin of West Lake Longjing tea. When purchasing West Lake Longjing tea, you must check whether there is this certification mark.

How to distinguish the quality of West Lake Longjing?

The production areas of Longjing tea are clearly differentiated. The core production areas are "Shifeng, Longjing, Yunqi, Hupao, and Meijiawu", followed by the West Lake production area. In addition, the Longjing tea produced in Hangzhou City is second-class (Qiantang Longjing), and the Longjing tea outside Hangzhou is again first-class (Yuezhou Longjing). The more the core area, the smaller the scope and the less yield, but the better the growing environment and the better the quality.

What is the difference between this West Lake Longjing and Mingqian Longjing?

The origin of West Lake Longjing is more core than that of Pre-Qingming Longjing, and the level is also higher than it. Pre-Qingming Longjing is produced in Hangzhou, and West Lake Longjing is produced in Hangzhou West Lake areas.

How to distinguish the level of Longjing?

The super Longjing tea has a flat shape, brown beige color, even color and mellow fragrance, with orchid and chestnut fragrance. It is famous for its "green color, fragrant, sweet taste and beautiful shape". The secondary Longjing tea is tender green in appearance, with chestnut aroma. The lower the grade, the more complex and thick the dry tea color is, the aroma changes from floral to fried, and the leaf bottom changes from tender buds to bud leaves.

Why is it called West Lake Longjing(xihu long jing)?

West Lake Longjing has a history of 1,200 years and was produced in the mountains around Longjing Village, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, hence the name. When Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the West Lake in Hangzhou, he highly praised Longjing tea and named the 18 tea trees under Shifeng Mountain as "Royal Tea", thus making Longjing tea famous in the world. Due to long-term quality control and word of mouth inheritance, it has become one of the most famous green teas in China today.

버라이어티 팩 구매

월병 구매해서 맛있게 먹었어요.
고운 팥의 느낌인데 각각 다 맛이 다르고 특색있었고, 열량 걱정만 안된다면 계속 먹고싶은 간식이예요.
너무 계속 손이 가서 조금 있다가 구매하려고 합니다.
상담원 분도 친절하셔서 너무 좋습니다.
같이 차도 구매했는데 차 맛은 제가 잘 모르나봐요. 방법도 잘 몰라서 편하게 우려 마셨는데 좋기는 했지만 최고!!의 느낌은 저는 잘 모르겠어요.
