This authentic West Lake Longjing Green Tea comes from Longjing Village, the renowned “Long” core production area within the protected West Lake Longjing region.

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

Hand-picked on March 26 before Qingming Festival, this premium Mingqian Longjing represents one of the freshest and most delicate expressions of spring-harvest Longjing tea.

Its aroma is refined and elegant, combining classic roasted bean notes with a soft floral fragrance. The tea liquor is fresh, sweet, smooth, and mellow, with a clean finish and a naturally delicate character.

This Longjing tea comes from Longjing Village, the birthplace of West Lake Longjing and home to the famous “18 Imperial Tea Trees.” Longjing Village belongs to the prestigious “Shi” origin within the five historic core production areas known as “Shi, Yun, Long, Hu, and Mei.” Tea from this area is widely regarded as the finest expression of traditional West Lake Longjing flavor.

Surrounded by mountains, the region features loose, well-drained white sandy soil formed from weathered quartz sandstone and rich in minerals such as potassium and phosphorus. Dense vegetation, flowing mountain streams, and a mild microclimate create ideal growing conditions for Longjing tea trees.

The result is a tea known for its fresh sweetness, mellow richness, smooth body, and exceptional depth — a legendary and irreplaceable expression of top-grade West Lake Longjing.
