Supreme Longjing

Supreme Longjing is known as the first sip of fresh tea in spring. It tastes light with a grassy green infusion, and a soft and tender texture. It tastes sweet with a prominent profile.

Supreme Longjing has been requested by emperors for thousands of years, and its most important purpose is to be delivered to the palace before the Ching Ming Festival for the emperor to worship ancestors, and then share it with the royal family and close officials. After a long winter, the nutrients in the tea tree have been fully accumulated, coupled with the low temperature in early spring, the content of theanine in tea buds before Ching Ming Festival is relatively higher, and the content of tea polyphenols is relatively lower.

Temperature has a great influence on Longjing. In the spring tea season, the higher the temperature, the lower the quality of the tea, and the lower the temperature, the better the quality.
