The First Taste of Spring — Rich, Nutty & Smooth

The finest Longjing begins with the very first buds of early April — a brief moment that defines its most prized character.

Handpicked from Zhejiang and crafted from traditional Qunti Zhong cultivar, these early leaves are rich in amino acids, creating a smooth, rounded body with a distinctive roasted bean aroma and warm nutty notes.

As the season advances, this depth and sweetness begin to fade — which is why First Flush Longjing is considered the most complete expression of this iconic tea.

Harvested within a short seasonal window, only once a year.
A rich and comforting taste of spring.

This authentic West Lake Longjing Green Tea comes from Meijiawu, one of the core production areas within the protected West Lake Longjing region.

Each package carries an official anti-counterfeit traceability label issued to certified tea farmers authorized to produce genuine West Lake Longjing, helping ensure its authentic origin.

Hand-picked on April 7–8, just a few days after Qingming Festival, this top-grade Longjing captures the fresh character of early spring harvest tea while offering a fuller and richer taste.

Its aroma is expressive and comforting, with distinctive roasted bean notes, gentle nuttiness, and natural sweetness. The tea liquor is smooth, full-bodied, and layered, with a lingering aftertaste that develops beautifully through multiple infusions.

Compared with lighter Longjing styles, this Meijiawu selection offers a richer and more robust flavor profile, making it an excellent choice for tea lovers who enjoy deeper roasted-bean aroma and a more satisfying Longjing experience.

Limited quantity available.
