Hangzhou Longjing Green Tea — Traditional Daily Drinking Tea

Traditional Hangzhou Longjing Green Tea

A classic loose-leaf green tea in the Longjing style, presented for relaxed everyday brewing. The flat green leaves and fresh profile make this an approachable choice for drinkers who enjoy clean, vegetal and gently toasty Chinese green teas.

Taste & Aroma

Fresh, smooth and lightly nutty with green, chestnut-like and softly sweet notes. The style is especially enjoyable when brewed lightly so the leaf character remains clear and refreshing.

How to Brew

Use about 3–4g of tea per 250ml of water at roughly 75–85°C. Steep for 1–2 minutes and re-infuse to taste. Avoid fully boiling water for the first infusion to preserve the tea's softer aromatic character.

Tea-Table Styling

Serve in a clear glass or pale porcelain gaiwan so the green leaf colour stays visually prominent. For a modern East-meets-West interior, pair it with natural wood, stoneware, linen and minimal brass accents.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with light pastries, fruit, steamed dishes, mild seafood, rice dishes and delicate desserts.
