This product is among the finest Longjing teas. We've sourced it from the inheritor of the Longjing intangible cultural heritage, Master Weng Liwen, a tea master from the century-old Wengjiashan tea estate, and a national first-class tea appraiser. This pre-rain Longjing is hand-picked and pan-fried by Master Weng, featuring the Longjing No. 43 variety. It's a handcrafted Longjing tea, harvested early on March 26, 2024. For those who wish to experience the authentic, top-tier West Lake Longjing crafted by a master, this tea is a must-try.

Weng Liwen
Weng Liwen is the inheritor of the century-old Weng Longshun Jingji Tea Estate in Wengjiasahn, the core production area of Shifeng Longjing, and he is also a national first-class tea appraiser.
He is closely associated with the craftsmanship of making West Lake Longjing tea and is one of the inheritors of this traditional craft. Weng Liwen has profound experience in tea making; he not only personally participates in the picking and frying of tea leaves but also is committed to teaching and promoting this craft to ensure the traditional flavor of West Lake Longjing tea continues.
Weng Liwen pays special attention to the manual frying of tea leaves in the tea-making process. He believes that the taste and quality of hand-fried tea are far superior to machine-made tea. He emphasizes that each step requires the tea maker to use their five senses, and the tea maker's gaze, judgment, and the warmth of their hands during the manual tea-making process are irreplaceable. Weng Liwen also mentioned that although machine frying is a trend in Longjing tea production, hand-made tea still has its unique value and significance.
Weng Liwen says, "Every tea maker has their own techniques and criteria for judgment. Personally, I believe that 'without floral fragrance, it's not Longjing.' Although floral fragrance, especially the orchid scent we pursue, is something that can be encountered but not sought.
