An extraordinary Dragon Well green tea, which enchants the senses with its refreshing vegetal and floral aroma combined with a rich toasty and nutty taste. But the pleasure doesn't end there, as a persistent fresh and sweet aftertaste envelops the mouth.

This green tea, also known as Longjing tea, originates from Mei Jia Wu, which is one of the four famous Dragon Well villages, situated south of the West Lake. It's made from the classic Qun Ti cultivar and handpicked based on a 1 bud and 2-3 leaves standard.

This classic Chinese green tea is delicious when steeped hot, but also ideal for cold-brewing during the summer season.

Excellent tea with that familiar warm flavour of roasted beans and chestnuts.

Brewing: 4g/80ml, 80°C, 20s, +5s.

Warmed-up dry leaves smell like toasted hazelnuts, raw spinach and raw zucchini. When wet, camphor and wet hay notes appear.

The liquor tastes of toasted hazelnuts balanced beautifully by a symphony of green vegetables. At first, it's all deceptively simple but there's depth waiting to be discovered, making Long Jing one of the most interesting green teas out there.

Absolut delicious!
This long jing has the perfecrt grade of roasting, it smells like fresh baked cookies.

Questo teâ mi ha dato la sensazione di viaggiare in Cina. Sia il suo profumo sia il suo gusto mi hanno conquistata.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.

When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.

Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
