$58.00
Pre-Qingming First Flush Longjing from the Qiantang region is one of the earliest and most prized green teas of the spring season. Harvested before the Qingming Festival, when the leaves are still tender and delicate, this tea captures the pure freshness of early spring. Compared to later harvests, it offers a brighter, cleaner profile with refined sweetness and a lighter, more elegant body.
Carefully pan-fired in the traditional style, this Longjing showcases the signature flat leaf shape and a yellow-green color. The liquor is clear and luminous, with a soft, refreshing taste and a gentle, lingering sweetness that embodies the essence of spring.
