Long Jing is one of China’s most famous and best-loved green teas. This one is a classic lively green tea made from the first flush of the spring leaves, picked young and skilfully pressed flat in a hot, dry wok to arrest oxidation. The bright green liquor has sweet notes of fresh cut grass rounded off by a soft, chestnut flavour.

Bought tis a couple off weeks ago its my second Long Jing or Dragon Well pick the name u like most!
Brewed this last night with the recommended 2 teaspoons off leave’s with 80°c water (not recommended) and it was bitter. The brew lasted for 3Min but i had my water a bit to hot and way to many leafs for my liking… only started enjoying the third cup off the series brews i did.
Today tough i’m doing it my way, yes yes screw instructions i’m going with what i used my my Dragon Well form Jing. A 2m30 sec infusion with 65°c water and only one teaspoon full off the beautiful flat leaves! The result it a enormous difference over yesterday. I can taste the citrus note’s but there not overwhelming and i’m tasting nuts in the aftertaste. It gives a nice dry mouthfeel…
This is like i can tell a very good Dragon Well tea that surely can revival that off jing!
After dunking my teabag in a cup of tepid water in the Kissmyass Cafe, my punk friend said, ‘Listen Dude, have you never drunk any real China tea?’ ‘What the Hell’ I said. So we went to the Dragon Well Tea House and we drank Long Jing tea: what we had was roasted Shi Feng. ‘Listen, punk,’ (my friend said) ‘there may be there other variations of this Long Jinn tea: but what you are drinking is the best tea you will ever drink in your life.’ I tasted it, and at first was … something I couldn’t quite make out at first. This tea said ‘Who the Hell are you, do you know what you are drinking? Do you really appreciate good tea? Don’t you know I am the best you will ever drink? Or are you just a tea-bag hag?’ It tasted like something green and somehow good on the taste-buds . . . with a subtle promise that there was something better to come … and what developed wasn’t just fruitiness or floweriness, it was just leafiness! Gentle, smooth, good on the taste buds, a general greenness of taste, delicious, pleasant and satisfying, with a long lasting mouth-feel and aftertaste. A tea to philosophize with. Or just enjoy because you like being who you are. Now I like being who I am. Thanks to Long Jinn Tea. (Shi Feng)
I love canton tea as a company, but i have to say their standard grade Long Jing is the worst i have had all year, flavour is poor and falls over in the second steeping.
Their supreme grade however is extremely fine and lasts 3-4 infusions assuming identical tea quanities/steep time/temp
