Supreme West Lake Long Jing Dragon Well – Hand-Crafted Hangzhou Green TeaThe tea garden where we source our Supreme West Lake Long Jing is located high in the mountains of Hangzhou, the legendary home of Dragon Well tea. For generations, the family who tends this land has crafted exceptional Long Jing by hand, using traditional, natural farming methods and pan-firing techniques passed down from one generation to the next. This batch is picked from the very tender first spring shoots. Each leaf is meticulously hand-picked in late March, then carefully roasted by hand in wood-fired pans. Our supreme grade offers a subtler, grassier and more refined finish than mainstream Long Jing picked later in the season. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItWest Lake Long Jing is one of China's most celebrated teas, and this family-crafted, hand-roasted supreme grade represents it at its finest. It's elegant, refreshing and full of springtime character — a true connoisseur's green tea.
How to EnjoyBrew it in a clear glass to watch the flat leaves float and sink, and re-steep for several delicate cups. It pairs beautifully with light dishes, steamed fish, vegetables and delicate pastries, and makes a special gift for green tea connoisseurs. Refined, fragrant and steeped in tradition, Supreme West Lake Long Jing is Dragon Well at its very best. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
