The Precious 2%: Terroir & Rarity

While "Longjing" is grown across 18 counties in Zhejiang, only 2% of total production earns the prestigious "West Lake" designation. Originating from the core microclimate of Dragon Well Village, our tea is a "rare treasure" where the unique mineral-rich soil and misty lake air create a flavor that cannot be replicated elsewhere. In the world of tea, this is as close to perfection as nature allows.

The Master's Touch

Authentic West Lake Longjing is almost exclusively hand-pan-fired. Master artisans use ten distinct hand movements to shape the leaves into their signature flat, smooth form. This time-honored craftsmanship draws out the "four perfections": jade color, aromatic fragrance, mellow sweetness, and elegant shape.

Sensory Profile

Aroma: A sophisticated blend of toasted chestnuts, fresh-roasted beans, and subtle orchid floral notes.
Palate: Refreshingly crisp with a velvety texture and a remarkably long, sweet aftertaste (Hui Gan).
Appearance: Flat, spear-like leaves with a distinctive yellow-green hue—the hallmark of authentic West Lake terroir.

Brewing Perfection

Water Temp
85°C (185°F)
Cool boiling water slightly to preserve delicate buds.

Vessel

"The tender green, fresh, and lasting spring tea... More precious than gold." — Inspired by Su Shi (Song Dynasty Poet)
