Chá Verde do Lago Oeste Dragon Well (Long Jing)

Fresh and fragrant from the first impact, the dried leaves express all the classic nature of this tea, with its flat shape and emerald green color with yellowish streaks. Infusing these teas is always a challenge because, unless you're a novice, you have so many points of comparison with those you've already drunk in the past. This one in particular manages to defy any provocation, even that of a Western-style infusion at 70°C for 2 minutes, which allows all its refined characteristics to emerge. The wet leaves add brilliance to the original colors and hint to the nose at the aromas and flavors the liqueur will unleash upon tasting. The very light and brilliant green color, almost transparent, frames a sweet, intense, and smooth flavor, with fresh, floral, and herbaceous notes, especially chestnut but also alfalfa, combined with a slightly toasted aftertaste. These characteristics make this Longjing a tea that cannot fail to please, even if you are not a lover of green teas.

Subtle roasted sunseed flavor, nuanced grassiness, sweet.

eccellente gusto delicato

Not the biggest green tea guy in general but I found this one very enjoyable and easy to brew any way you like, gongfu or grandpa style all goes.

Ottimo the verde, molto profumato e buono anche alla terza infusione

It is probably my favorite tea from teasenz. It is not overwhelming. It is quite sweet with a hint of hay.

Dry aroma is vegetal: pasture, barley, nuttiness, chestnuts. Lovely. Steeped at 80-85°C, the chestnut aroma comes through immediately when steeping. Soup tastes 99% of chestnuts, 1% grassy. Beautiful, light, not very complex, but pleasing.

Really great tea and the description on the website is pretty accurate about its flavour

One of the best Long Jing which I tried in Eruope.
Still fresh in September.

Fresh, nutty and sweet. Great value for money for everyday longjing fans.

This entry-level Long Jing offers an astonishing price-performance ratio. At this price point, you often get Long Jing that’s barely drinkable. I’ve tried quite a few Long Jings, ranging from basic ones from Zhejiang (i.e., outside the core production area) to top-tier Long Jing from Shi Feng.

Although it uses the Qunti cultivar, its processing is more reminiscent of a #43 Long Jing — that is, somewhat lighter and less complex. It presents a nice balance of green-floral and nutty notes, with the emphasis more on the former. If you prefer heavily roasted Long Jing, this one might not be for you.

A great daily drinker at a really affordable price.

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