Shi Feng Long Jing

Dry leaves appearance : Long and thin leaves with a pretty dark brown, yellow and green hues, the tradional "Cao Mi (Brown rice)" color of Long Jing tea. The “Yu Ye (fish leaves)” are the guaranties of the first picked of the year.
Aroma : The dry leaves offer a combination of sweet roasted green bean and fresh roasted peanut fragrance with a very small hint of anis, and yet very clean to the nose. The wet leaves give the same sweet green bean fragrance but sweeter and it is complemented with a subtle steamed asperges touch.
Liquor : The pale green tea liquor has an excellent clarity. A lovely nutty flavor is delivered by the full-bodied tea liquor, and it turns into refreshing vegetal taste combined with lemonade and flowery touch. The after taste is very sweet and long lasted.

Tips : When you brew Chinese green tea in a gaiwan, always leave a little bit of tea in the gaiwan between each infusion. This is call “the root” and will allow you to get the best of the green tea.
